Let there be Light!!!

Quite a bit of the lighting has been installed and it's starting to feel a little more like a home!!!  We're hoping they will start on the wood floors today and then we should be able to move on to punch out and finalizing the landscaping!  The girls are so exited about their rooms!!!

These are lights that we salvaged from the demo of the historic Dixie Brewery in New Orleans.  We literally pulled over and asked if we could buy them when they were tearing down the building.  We got seven of them and put 3 at the garage and 4 on the back porch.  Below is a pic of the Dixie Brewery and if you look close enough you can see one of these lights hanging amongst the rubble!  Glad to have salvaged a piece of this beautiful historic building!

Wallpaper Madness!

If anyone would have ever told me that I would be putting wallpaper in our house I would have told them they were nuts!  But leave it to my builder to push my boundaries and convince me that wallpaper is AMAZING......or as she puts it, wall coverings.

Well, we are settled in our "temporary house" and considering we've already been to the emergency room, I guess you can say we're all having a hard time adjusting!  After a week though, it's really working out well and we're finding a way to make it feel like a home for everyone!

Ok, back to the wallpaper....  the girls rooms, powder bath and vent hood have all had the magical wallpaper treatment and I have to admit that I'm now a fan. Still to come are the book nook, master bath and mud room and that's my wallpaper limit!  

Here's a quick peek at the progress!
