Quite a Bit of Progress

It's been awhile since I have posted the progress of the new house and to say I'm excited about it is an understatement though it feels rather surreal to me at times.

Here is the entry or Porte corchere (carport). It's stately and solid looking.

The underside is stunning. I LOVE IT!

Early on I touched on superstitions. The discovery of a nesting robin in essentially our great room door way had me doing a bit more research for the meaning. A nest with eggs indicates a blest household, or the creation of happy household promises. I have to say, I like this a lot. 

The roof is felted. As soon as a few vents and our wood stove chiminey are in place, the metal roofing can go on.

The before photo of my future kitchen! Looking forward to cooking and entertaining here. We have some fun things planned here. Shaker style hickory cabinets, a Thermador cook top, a red painted island with copper vegetable sink, and a 5 drawer Kitchen Aid refrigerator. I love the light we found to hang over the island! This will be the kitchen of my dreams! 

Coming soon, I'll show you some of the selections we've made for the house!
