Almost there......

This is more progress than we've seen in our kitchen in weeks. The microwave hood still isn't in, but it will be by the time we move in (God willing!)

We are planning on painting the kitchen a nice soft green, probably a celadon color.

We have a black table and chairs as well as some dark brown/black knobs and pulls for the cabinets. New faucet and light fixtures too.

Still have A LOT of work to do....amazing with a brand new house, but we know what we want.

The kitchen isn't really very big, but it has more than enough room and storage for us, so it'll work. (never had a pantry or garbage disposal---oooohh !)

Another angle.

Don't even look at the floor. It's the 'included' vinyl, which we are going to promptly cover with wood ASAP.

Downstairs 1/2 bath. Finally complete. (except for paint---light blue, and probably wainscotting--white)

We have a different faucet and light that I can't wait to install.

We are on schedule to close Thursday at 8:00am.

I can't wait to take a picture of the finished outside. We're STILL waiting for 4 more shutters and then they'll install the sod the day we close, weather permitting. (not too worried about that since we have to take care of it!)

So, that's that. We're going to be freaky busy over the next couple of weeks.

I'll be taking pictures and updating as much as possible.

Can't wait till Thursday :)
