On to the house.....
Here is what it looks like from the front:
And the back:
The small dormer is the master bedroom, and the large one is the boys bedrooms. Below is the covered porch which will have a fireplace!
This is the side:
The family room wall isn't built yet. The basement below walks out to the side yard.
The upstairs:
This is the new Grapevine Designs headquarters! There is a small portion that will be used as our walk in closet. This area provides some interesting challenges with the slanted walls. But in the end I think it will add to the uniqueness of the space!
Have a little peek at my sink sink for the basement bathroom: Isn't it beautiful? It is even more gorgeous in person. I just about fell over when it came out of the box. Its soooo pretty! Yes I do get this excited about sinks - that is why I am a designer.
The best news about this beautiful sink is what I paid for it. We were just on a little trip to Seattle and popped in to the Restoration Hardware Outlet. You know, if there is something particular you are looking for, you can sign up to get a call if it comes in. This is what I had planned to do. But to my surprise - there it was! Ready for me to take to a loving home. So I signed up for a vanity for Svea's bathroom. Anyway, back to my beautiful sink: I walked out of there with this good looking plumbing fixture for $443.09 US - which these days is less in Canadian dollars! As soon as we crossed over the boarder again (which we did without a stitch of duty or taxes), I called Restoration Hardware in Vancouver. When all is said and done in Vancouver I would have paid, $1114.40 US! No I did not put an extra 1 there. My husband is even impressed with my purchase! Every little bit helps where the budget is concerned.
