house update!! almost done!!

Hiiiii! Long time no blog! AGAIN! I've just been super busy lately between the house stuff, vacation, and work. We've been getting everything in order for our closing date, in 18 days!! Hopefully they are finished and we don't have to push it back anymore, I'm getting super anxious!! so fingers crossed!
 
I wanted to share some pictures since I hadn't in a while and it's changed so much! Everything is turning out exactly how we wanted it, we really couldn't be happier with our builders and their amazing work! They are constantly emailing and calling keeping us up to date! Our hardwood floors have been ordered and should be here this week!! I cant wait to see them! We also chose all our lighting, countertops, backsplash, appliances and carpet for the spare bedrooms, (our bedroom will be hardwood). We had to get our fridge, washer and dryer separately so I got them a while back during the memorial day weekend sale and got an amazing deal on everything!! (If you're in the market for appliances I highly recommend waiting for those holiday weekend sales because it's crazy how much money you save!!) We are so READY!!
 

The door is not stained yet, I still can't decide on if I want a light or dark stain... Or COLOR! Let me know if you have any suggestions


 
I love the detail in the crown moulding!! 



All of the custom ceilings Mason Trendsetters does are so beautiful, this one is in our office.


 
  
Hope you enjoyed my picture overload, next house blog will be when it's allll done!! Yay! This journey has been so much fun and I can't believe it's already almost over! But we are so so ready to make this house out home and spend our life here!!!! I'm also looking forward to hosting our family's thanksgiving dinner here! Have a good Sunday! Thanks for reading!

HOUSE UPDATE! & a very random trip to California!

Hello!!! I can't believe I haven't blogged in a month! I figured that really needed to change because I love my blog so much I hate to lose track of it! Lots of new things have been going on with the house along with life in general. My husband's schedule was pretty crazy this past month, crazy meaning he left June 1st and isn't expected home until July 1st! An entire month without him has really been tearing at my heart but it's almost over!! While he's been gone I've been keeping myself extra busy by trying to work out, (I started T25 and I like it so far!) and I had been jogging two miles 6 days a week up until Friday when I took a VERY spontaneous trip to San Diego, California!! It was amazing to say the least, definitely a beautiful place and exactly how I pictured California to be! I left on Friday and Saturday was the first day of summer so I'd say I spent it the right way! My aunt was there on business and my cousin lives there so it was a fun girls weekend full of drinks, good food and good shopping! My trip was very short and I'd really love to go back and experience more so I've added it to our list of places for my husband and I to visit together (even though he is SO not a Cali type of guy I think he'd still love it)!
 








 
 
Today was an exciting day for me because our new washer, dryer and fridge were delivered! Too bad they will sit in their boxes and collect dust for about another month until we move into our house! We're definitely getting closer & I can see the light at the end of the tunnel!! Yesterday I went out and they were more than halfway done laying the brick! The back and sides are completely done and now they're working on the front which will have stone as well as brick! They also put up the drywall throughout the entire house!! I must say it looks so different with the walls up, it's insane!! I feel tiny inside the house with the sky high ceilings!!
 
OK, OK! Less talking & more PICTURES!!
 






 Casey's favorite: master walk in shower









 
I hope you enjoyed the peek inside our future home!

Casa de Corbin

Hi!! it's been a while since I've posted about the house on here so I thought I would give a little picture tour of the very unfinished inside. The roof, plumbing and electric work is done so next is brick and drywall I believe! My husband is coming home soon after 3 weeks so he will be surprised to see the work they've done while he was away! I didn't get a pic of the living room or master bedroom, but I tried to get some good pics for our photo album of the rest of the house. It will be fun to look back on these pictures with our kids in the future! We picked out our brick and stone design for the exterior so I'm excited to see how it turns out! The plumbing and electrical work is so tedious it seems like we've been at a stand still, but I am trying to be as patient as possible! The next house post will hopefully be the completely finished exterior!
 
enjoy my picture overload!
