House Update

I haven't done an update on the house for a while, so here it is. Here is the dining room with another coat of paint. They still need to do some more touch ups, but it's looking pretty good. The chandelier is backordered, so we may move in and have it installed later.
Here is the entryway looking at the front door from the living room. The door has not been stained yet, and the floor is really dusty from all the work going on. The entryway light needs to be leveled, too. Over all it is coming along though. I really like the way the tile came out on the floor.

The screened porch was finished last weekend. It's going to be really nice to sit out there and relax.

This photo is of the front porch. We now have painted shutters, and the ceiling has been painted blue. It looks really good. The shutters are green although it's hard to tell from this photo.
Lastly, here is a shot of the front of the house as it looks now. There will be solid slabs topping the two columns on the sides of the stairs like those on the tops of the columns on the porch.
We talked to a landscaper this past week, and his first plan was way over what we wanted to spend at this time. It was great plan, but just too much money. We had a call from the floor guy last week. The wood floor that we originally picked out has been discontinued, so we had to start over on flooring. Fortunately, the floor guy was really helpful, so we were able to make a decision we are happy with.
We are working on getting all the little details on the house taken care of at this time. Hopefully, we will be able to move in by the end of the month.

Things are really looking good. I like the dining room color much better now with the second coat. Do you have transomes over all the doors ? I like that idea. The screened porch, it says bring your book and a large glass of iced tea, and enjoy. I also really like the look of the front of the house. Jan

There are transoms over the doors in the dining room, living room and breakfast room. I am really looking forward to sitting on the back porch.
