Waiting, waiting...


Well, things are continuing to move along on our house, but unfortunately the move is being pushed back a few days...apparently, all that snow covering lots of the US has caused back-orders & shipping delays on our carpet, so it will not be installed until the first of next week...SO that makes moving this weekend out of the question...I am disappointed because I am so ready to be there & ready to be settled & ready to not have this huge thing called "the move" hanging over my head, BUT I am glad to know that God is in control & has a reason for the delays...and I guess the extra time can't hurt since all of these boxes sitting over here have yet to figure out how to pack themselves, talk about a bummer!
Anyway, these pictures are all from before our "big snow" & more progress has been made since then, but I just wanted to go ahead & post these for posterity.
Front of house with shutters finally painted black...they were the same color as the house for months & every time I drove by it.drove.me.crazy!
Red front door...I've always wanted a red door!
Front yard
Dining Room...I've seen the floors now in person & I LOVE them!

I think that lighting fixtures went up today, so hopefully I can get some photos of those soon! I keep reminding myself that a few more days are hardly significant in the overall scheme of things...now if I can just get this house packed up, talk about a task with some significance!

Waiting is sooooooooo hard, especially when your heart is in all these details and you have been anticipating life in your new place. I know that so well. The house is beautiful!! I am jealous for the laundry room (I may have mentioned that before!). And I forgot to tell you before... when my parents built their house in CA, my mom had a huge island installed... her countertop for that island was reclaimed bowling alley floor! It was an incredible butcher block surface! I think you will enjoy your wood countertops, too! Blessings!!

Your house looks fantastic. I love looking at reno pictures and yours doesn't disappoint. I am surprised how different the outside looks from the first time I saw it posted. I can't wait to see more. Sorry you are having to wait - I know that must be frustrating.
