Can hardly stand it!

Im so excited I can hardly stand it!  I finalized my appliance package!  And our walls are going up!

First, appliances:

 

This picture shows the line from Jennair that I went with.  I got quotes from Sears, Trail and Coast.  Coast came in at the best.  Then Sears said that they would match Coast's price, plus we could put it on our Sears card and get Sears points -- @$1200 worth!  In the end that is what we bought our dishwasher with.  Plus Jennair had a promotion where if you buy a certain amount of Jennair appliances, they throw in a dishwasher for free.  We've decided to have 2 dishwashers, so that paid for the second one.  Two dishwashers for free!  We were asking how much extra it would be to have 2 dish drawers instead of a dishwasher.  She said Jennair hasn't specified which dishwasher you get for free.  So we ended up with $2500 dishdrawers for free.   Pictured above is our fridge.  Except our fridge has water/ice in the door.  That wasn't my first choice, but it was $2000 less that way.  Isn't that wierd?  You can see our wall oven and dishwasher there as well.  Plus we got a 4 burner industrial -looking  range with a griddle.

Now the house....  it is being built fast and furiously!  This is our rec room.  At the back is the electrical room and our crawl space... which is full height - so thankful for that!  The other two room will be a media room and exercise room.  We plan to finish the basement, but not outfit it.  The media and exercise equipment will have to come later!

  On to our kitchen....  Its hard to see without drywall.  The boards on the floor are outlining the island!  The room in the back is the desk area for family computer etc, and the panty.  The opening is double doors onto the deck.



In the last pictures you can see our mud room and laundry.  Im so excited about these.  But it has hit me that I am going to need to put lots of cabinetry in these areas.  A little nervous about the budget!





This picture is an inspiration picture of my living room or family room.  It isn't exact, but its my inspiration.  Next week we start on cabinetry.  Stay tuned for a sneak peak at some lighting options.
