We are still here!

We closed exactly a week ago. It's been super hectic. Here's a run down:

-painted the entire first floor.
- removed laminate countertops from kitchen & bathrooms to have the granite installed.
- started on the glass subway tile backsplash.
-this particular minute we are installing knobs on the cabinets. If you aren't handy I recommend you pay Ryan to do it or find a local handyman to. The cabinets are super hard to open. It's insane. 

Here's a tease of our custom tables. They were delivered Saturday and we are just in love. We got them from Rustic Elements Furniture in Joliet, IL. 

Morning room.



Love this round pedestal in the Dining Room. I promise to take better pics soon. 
If you can't find a table call Scott. They deliver to the U.S. and he can make anything your little heart desires! 

So far we have only one problem with the house. We have an insane squeak/grinding noise when you step in the family room. It's horrific and sounds like nails on a chalkboard. I'm trying to deal with it until the 30 day but I don't know how long I can do it! Haha. Other than that the work is solid. I don't have any complaints. Once we finish all of our personalization I will need a vacation though... 

I promise to post more pics within the week!!

    1. Hi Lauren! It's 8x10 and it fits in our morning room perfectly. I also bought a 8x10 for the family room. I could have totally went 9x12 in there. It's coming together! How are you guys coming along?

  2. I love your tables!!! What size is the table in the morning room? I want one similar to that, but don't want it to take over the room. Yours fits nicely!

  3. Hi Nokomis!

    The table is 85x42. I'm glad we went that size because any bigger would have been too much for the room. Any smaller it would have gotten swallowed up! Haha.

    1. Michelle- we are totally twins! Jim actually didn't order enough tile(d'oh) so we are waiting on the other two boxes to come so we can finish it. It looks great so far!
