A floor in the playroom?

I just wanted to let everyone know that the playroom does have a floor. It is true I will post pictures. It also has a bench and a couch you can sit on. Wow, am I excited. And no, Lisa, we haven't found any dead bodies hiding in the playroom either, just items you have all left there in the past. We have found treasures that the owners will enjoy arriving at their doors shortly. Yes, I mailed boxes to all of you. Warren took his last weekend but I have more for him. Sorry, Ed, just one to y0u this time I will make up for it soon. I have another one almost ready. You will enjoy going through the treasures and your wives or husband will enjoy seeing some of your treasures hope you remember them. Aunt Donna and I spent another day "playing" in the playroom. Thank heavens for ice water and fans. We were also glad nothing living jumped out of any boxes. I will post pictures to prove it.

All settled

So today I actually went back to the design center and finalized all the decisions we had made. The paperwork is all documented and signed. NO MORE DECISIONS. YEAH!!! So when all was said and done I think that everything is going to look awesome...and...I only went $553 over my budget. I think that is amazing. So here's to you mom. Now because I saved money there means I get to spend that much more on your stuff when you get here. :-) Love you. You deserve the best!

The real door

YEAH.. I fell in love with this door....I think it is worth every penny and is going to look amazing on mom's new house. The stain is a red mahogany.


Also, if you look at the bottom you can see the brick color we chose. The white you see above the brick is her trim color, and the tan on the right is the color of the siding. I love the way it all looks together, I hope you do mom.

The decisions are made

The decisions are made! Thanks to Lisa and Orson and their persistence they have gone through every outlet, cabinet, floor, lighting, tub, and plumbing feature. Above and beyond the call of duty. I don't think anyone has ever been so prepared to decorate a home. Orson followed up on my original plans and found out that they had left off my grandchildren bedroom. We had it in the contract I swear! He solved the problem quickly. I really couldn't see putting the kids in the third car garage but that was where their room was at that time. Their tub was also missing I guess they were to bath in the hose. Gratefully they now have a room and a tub. Lisa and Orson are letting you know they are available to do your plans for your new homes or additions at a reasonable rate. But not as reasonable as mine but they will be reasonable. You will all benefit from their expertise. The Realtors never new what hit them when we were shopping for my perfect home. We knew more about their plans than they did and we had to explain our questions in lay terms so they could answer them. They got out the calculators and Orson and I told them what the dimensions were quicker than they could figure out the square feet. Lisa will soion update us all with their adventure of the day. Thank you to Savannah for being good for Grandma and Grandpa so Orson and Lisa could visit the design center. Love to all.

Speak NOW...

So tomorrow is the big day when we go to the Ryland design center to finalize all the decisions pertaining to the decor of the house. So take a peek at the last few posts and don't forget to add your comments, seriously, I need all the help I can get. I think I'm on the right track.

Lighting....

This is the Berkley Collection. It's Standard. The color is cobblestone, I actually really like it, and I think it fits in perfectly.

So here's the breakfast nook.


Coach light out by the garage.

Entry way


Sconce.....it goes somewhere they say.

Front Door

Okay so here is a door similar to the one we like. The one we like has wrought iron details work between two pieces of glass. Similar in style to this one. Oh and the hardware for the door is levers instead of your regular handles.....Kinda Cool huh!
