Good news first. After almost exactly 5 years of toil, sweat, and tears, we are overjoyed to announce that our house is finished, just about... Of course there are a few exterior projects to complete, but even that list of projects has gotten quite short. We are thrilled and have actually taken off two nights in a row in honor of this auspicious occasion.
As promised several months ago, I'll start posting some pics of our home. First is the kitchen, starting with the view you can see as you walk in the side door from the pantry:
Next the fridge (cleverly made into a cabinet by Jordan),
which is next to the sink:
Here's a close-up of that really cool "Rise -n- Shine" sign painted on an old cutting board - one of my favorite accents in this room.
As you can see, we chose not to have any overhead cabinets (there's plenty of storage in the pantry and dining room), so Jordan threw together this adorable plate rack that is hanging over the beautiful pine chest that my friend Cynthia gave us.
Lastly, we have a couple of french chairs flanking the woodstove. This is one of the coziest places in the house, especially in cool weather. It's also a good view of the super cute curtains that Jordan's Mom made for us.
Now for the "bad" news (or maybe we'll just call it the neutral news). We've been frantically working on our home because we've decided to sell it. There are so many reasons for our decision, and I'll talk about them more in a later post. For now, we are enjoying this relatively quiet few weeks in our lives, grateful for our years here. It could take months/years to sell this very custom and unique house (for this area anyway), and we are planning on enjoying every moment. We hope you enjoy it, too!
