More to see

Again, sorry I haven't done this in awhile.  Truthfully, things aren't changing as fast.  We are moving along quickly though.  Insulation next week, and by the end of the week - drywall.  Yay - walls!I love my front door!  you are only seeing the side lights, but the door is exquisite!  I love my black windows, and hopefully I'll love the colours Ive picked for the house!  For some reason I felt so unsure of myself about the exterior.  I feel good about my decisions now though.  My husband has let me shingle the whole front of the house.  I say he "let" me because he is not a fan in cedar shakes, but he trusts me ;)  Just can't wait to see those posts get nice and fat and in my yummy white trim.  Ive picked Benjamin Moor "Silver Fox" for the exterior, and a warm welcoming yellow for my front door.  If Ive known anything all along, its been that I've wanted a yellow door.This is the back of the house.  We plan to shingle the dormers and put hardy board everywhere else.  You can see where the covered deck is.  There is a gas fireplace going there, and hopefully heaters.  Our pool will be just off the deck - they family is very excited about that!

SOME OF THE LIGHTING IVE FOUND:



Are you seeing a trend here?  GOLD

I bought 3 of these for my entrance. This one was at Liberty in Vancouver. It was $1100. I bought all 3 of mine including shipping and taxes for under $800!



 

I don't settle.  I just don't.  I don't for my clients, and Im not for myself.  The tilers usually expect to go to one tile supplier and pick up everything.  Not when Lisa is on the job.  On one of the jobs I am working on now, the tiles came from 3 suppliers.  It impossible for one supplier to have the absolute best option for every situation!  Gotta have the best.  Then there is the issue of price.   Some times you've gotta bite the bullet and just do it.  Many times there is a way around it.  Same for my lighting.  Ive poured hours into it.  But hopefully in the end I'll have a couple of high end designer pieces, but mostly just high end looking pieces!  The budget can only go so far.

This is the kitchen, family room area - facing into the back yard.



This is Svea's room.  She has beautiful vaulted ceilings and a window seat overlooking the front yard.  Now just gotta find a low cost lighting option to fill the big vaulted ceilings.If you follow Grapevine Furniture and Designs on Facebook, you can follow some of my great finds.  Thanks for reading.  Hope to post again soon.

Next time I should be able to reveal the Grapevine projects I have been working on!
