House Progress....slowly!

We have hit the sluggish state in the building process!! It feels SO close, but yet so far away!! We have TONS to do to the upstairs studio... but no time to do it! I work Saturdays, and we're typically at church most of the day Sunday... SO, I have GOT to figure out some time to get up there and get dirty with some manual labor!!

We just ordered cabinets, and the paint is going up starting tomorrow!! Next is flooring!!! :) We don't even have time to decide on these things, much less do any work involved with it! How did our lives get SO busy?!

Here are some recent pics of the progress!

Here's a pic of the front from today. We just need some shutters, then we're good to go! Notice the driveway and sidewalk are framed out! We should have a driveway by next week!!


Here's the side entry where my clients will come in! This is about a week old, so the sidewalk up to it is all framed up now!
Here's the banister and stairwell up to the STUDIO!!!! See the side entry door just ahead?
Here's coming into the entry way from the front door. Jared found this trim work in a magazine. It carries into the dining room as well. The top where it's just wall will be a light brown color... the bottom an off white.
Here's the living room! You can't tell too much about the fire place yet, but once everything is painted maybe you can see more!

We're getting there slowly now, and I couldn't be more excited (and nervous about interest rates and mortgages)!!!

Nice! So glad for you, as I know it was invading your family's space a little with the photography business being at home with no studio. God is good and He will provide!


Oh, Todd's still waiting to help you with your tile. ;)
