Showhome Project Update
Just thought I’d keep everyone posted with how the Showhome project is going. I’ve picked all the exterior selections and we just have to confirm the stone. It’s going to look pretty hot!!!
The cabinetmaker just dropped off all these goodies…
so that I can pick the cabinets, hardware, and countertop. YIPEEE!!!! This exciting stuff. I’m going this week (with my cabinet samples) to pick out the hardwoods, carpet, linoleum and tile. Then later this week the contractor is taking me on a walk-through of the house so that I can see the lighting plan and then perhaps next week I can go to Robinson Lighting and get started on picking lighting.
I was very excited when the contractor called me this weekend to confirm something. This is really happening. I’m the one he’s referring to when he has a question regarding what’s going into the house, I’m being taken totally seriously. It’s so fabulous that I can make decisions and someone’s going to do it. Now I just need some awesome inspiration so that I can make this the best house ever!
That is very exciting! I can imagine it’ll be tons of fun for you. I guess you still have a budget? But it must be cool to spend all that money that you don’t have to worry about! Have fun!

This is exciting. It must feel a bit “surreal” as you’ve been wanting this for some time. Congratulations. I hope you are blessed with inspiration galore. It will be fun to follow this project with you via the blog. Looking forward to it!

Erin, you must be having the time of your life. Of course, it goes without saying that you are probably ignoring the little nervous pit in your stomach this whole time too. I can’t wait to see more pictures. (Yes, I’m going to do your meme, but I’m not sure when.)
