I drove out to Keller Thursday after tennis to okay the stone for the house and Friday morning it was delivered along with the wood for the interior walls and ceiling!


I found this stool I'm loving for the crow's nest at World Market along with a couple of beds......Now, if only I could find a place to store them.....the apartment in the shop is over flowing!


The floors were put in last week, knotty hickory. I think they are beautiful!

Who knew building a small cabin in the country could be so much work. However I am so happy with the paint choices we made. Once the stone is up I think the place is going to look great!
ST was busy all day yesterday installing the security camera wiring while the doors were being installed by the professionals. :)
The spray foam installation is in, so now we are looking forward to drywall this coming week. I am going to have to get busy this weekend and pick out my remaining light fixtures, order the kitchen appliances (Viking), and start looking at tile for the shower walls and kitchen back splash.

Abigail setting her foot prints on the corner of the front porch
Meetings, meetings, and more meetings......
This week we met with Becky at Morrison's Supply for over 5 hours and picked out our fixtures for the kitchen and bathrooms. A few of the highlights are my soaking tub
which is made from volcanic limestone. 
 And my kitchen sink. It's a large cast iron farm sink, ice gray, with an old fashioned looking faucet. Of course my setting will be much more rustic than the ones in these pictures :)
Next we met with the electrician for a couple of hours, which led us to the lighting store, another couple of hours. Once we had picked out most of our light fixtures we were able to head back to the cabin and mark exactly where we wanted the wiring to go.  Which is when we discovered that something was amiss with the AC. Apparently there is not enough room to run all the duct work from one unit so we had to split it and put in two smaller units.


It was a very busy week. At one point we had the framers, plumbers,sprinkler guys, phone guy (due to the fact the sprinkler crew cut the phone line) ac crew, along with us and the electrician all scurying around the place.




                               
However, the cabin is coming along and the painters should start Monday!
