Ooo La La!! Chandeliers!!!

I LOVE the chandeliers I chose... it is so exciting getting them up in the house!

Here are the kitchen, dining room and Master bath lights:

the dining lights have 2 like this to go on either end of my long white farm table

this small light is a small version hanging over the master bath tub. they are an antique gold with metal flowers and vines all over them, i love them because they look really vintage!

and also you can sort of see the color of the stained concrete (they cleaned it today) and also i am sure everyone is dying to know what doorbell i picked out! :)

Link to a lot of house pictures!

so, it's been a while... but here are some pictures!

lots to post. sorry i have been so busy - i have neglected this and the other blog for 3 months! the house is about 2-3 weeks from being complete! Or at least we hope since our lease is up 3 weeks from tomorrow!! :) actually i will put a link to shutterfly, since this is taking SO LONG to download the pictures and then not even working! So - here are these, the rest will be in a shutterfly link with captions to explain! :)
what you see here is Phil standing in Jackson's unpainted closet. the 3 cutie patooties in the windows on the loft in Jackson's room (there will be something over the windows - dont' worry, no one is falling out!) and them standing in the trenching for the water from the well (yes! our land has water!!) And finally, the back porch fireplace!! Oh fun!!

Roof!

Stain concrete color samples

there will be a nice glossy finish of course, but this is just some colors for us to choose from.

Backyard!

We took the playset to the new backyard and even hung up some swings! It was all hard work, but very fun and exciting!

God is so Good!

Who knew with only a few months needing to rent (THANK YOU LORD for selling our home!!) that God would have something special in mind for us as we await the completetion of our home!

I found a 1930s cottage around the corner in Boerne for rent and the lovely family that owns it agreed to give us a short term open ended lease!

Look how cute it is! It will be like our own little bed and breakfast while we wait! It is on 1.75 acres so the children can play and we can enjoy the great outdoors! It has a big place for storage and it is close to the new place so Phil can enjoy a nicer commute (we will see him even more!!) and the kids can get involved in our new town!

We are so thrilled!
