New House - Shingles

This week it was very cold out and I sort of felt bad for the guys shingling our roof. Monday afternoon they got rained out, but came back in the evening and shingled our roof in the dark with huge spotlights. Now that is impressive!! We had some other minor snow delays, but they finished by Thursday.

Our contractor said things would be boring for a week or so and now that it's dark out when I leave work, I didn't even pay that close attention to the changes this week. Then today we went for the electrical walk-through and there were a lot of changes inside. All the plumbing and pipes were into the bathrooms and kitchen, all the duct work was completed, and all the basement rooms were now framed in.

With the electrician we were able to make changes to outlets, switches, or make any special requests. We made sure to add outlets in the mantel, island, at the base of the stairs, and even made sure to put one underneath the basement steps. We will have the perfect space for this inspiration picture.

Olivia will love having that little area.
Here is a picture of the house with shingles. Part was not complete in this picture, but close enough.

I've also been spending a lot of time this week planning out some more of the decor items, lights, etc. I finally broke down and ordered these two lights for above the island and in the dining room. Love them!

I also spent some time today pricing out window treatments and trying to decide whether to go with blinds, roman shades, curtains, or a combination or all of them. That part is really overwhelming to me.
