We’re 39 days from closing on the new house. We’re so close, yet it feels like move-in day is still so far away – mostly because Eric and I are anxious and excited to get settled into our new home. If you recall, we started this process right before Christmas 2017.
It’s been about a month since the last time I shared an update on the progress, so here’s a little sneak peek at where we’re at. The builder just wrapped up all of the interior painting. We chose the following colors throughout the house:
Interior Colors
wall color for most rooms throughout the housewall color for formal sitting room and officetrim color and all cabinetsstain color for wood floors, boot bench top and railings throughout house
Exterior Colors
main house colorcolor for front door, corbels and shutterstrim color
The colors turned out exactly how we wanted – clean, light, modern – and will go nicely with our tile/flooring and lighting finishes. Check out the progress!
