Our Dream Master Bedroom

Our master bedroom turned out even better than expected. We love having a large deck off the bedroom with our small two person hot tub. Our old house had a huge 10 person hot tub but it was two stories down. Any relaxing effect quickly wore off after coming and going. The upkeep on the tub was not worth the effort either as it rarely was used by more than my husband and I. Now it is 5 seconds to jump in and out.
Dual closets are amazing. Wasn't on the request list. The master bedroom was built over the new two car garage that was added below. So we had 400+ square feet to work with.

Master Bedroom Deck over Garage

Halloween 2013

Late Late post. We have been so enjoying actually living in our home that we have not posted in months. We had a great First Halloween in our new house. I finally have my huge front porch to decorate and the kids in the neighborhood loved it. We actually got as many trick or treaters as we had in our old house. Even though we are not in a development neighborhood. I think our decorations put up very early attracted quite few kids to come out of the way. We also gave out big candy bars to build a rep in the neighborhood!

The Big Staircase Reveal

Just got home from a week away in San Francisco and a miracle. Our stairs are done, Not almost done... Done Done. We were so used to the barn look they felt a little to fancy to be in our house, for about an hour. I was so anxious to get these done that I did the finish work on all the railings and posts so they would be ready to go for the finish carpenter while we were gone. I am so glad I did the work myself as I got the stain color just right to work with both the reclaimed stair treads, and flooring both up and down stairs. The last few things like the mantel and a few window mouldings are now painted as well. We are so close we can see the finish line!

The time has finally come. The miracle...we live in our House

Sorry there have been no posts. Busy Busy moving in. It is fantastic. We felt like guests in our home for the first week! I guess the roughing it of our temporary quarters kind of wore off on us. It seemed too nice to be in a real house. We are settling in and moving stuff in and around. Finding things that we do need from storage and wondering why even after our major dejunking of the old house did we keep so much. Another huge goodwill pile is growing in the garage. Still no staircase, no fireplace mantel, no hardware on the cabinets, lots of little things to finish, but it will happen eventually.

Our New Shower. How have we lived without this beauty?

Love Love Love this shower. We may not be moved in yet but we are using this shower every day now. It is amazing what about 3 square feet more size in a shower does for the roominess. Feels like a spa, we don't want to get out.

So Happy with the pebble floor, feels good on the feet.
