Countertops

 I certainly didn't expect that a trip to pick out granite on Monday would result in granite being installed on Wednesday.  WOW!  THIS is why I love our builder and tradesmen.

An island perfect for serving and eating.   

The sparkly flecks in this piece of granite are lost in the poor lighting.

Briley's countertops.

Perfect for putting on make-up in a few more years. 

Exterior

We have paint!  Well, we actually just have primer, but close enough!  After all the concerns I had about the exterior paint color, I'm so glad I went with my gut.  Love the SW Backdrop!

Cabinets

This was my favorite day yet.  WOW!  Why didn't anyone tell me how exciting it would be to see cabinets installed?

Laundry countertops.  I went with laminate in here to save some $$.

Laundry

Master vanity.

How awesome is this pull out?

And what about this for dryer and curling irons?  And also perfect for those tall bottles of hairspray. 

Daughter's vanity.

Son's bathroom vanity.

Vanity in upstairs bath from big box store.
Not that impressive, but also not that expensive.

Granite and cabinet sneak peek!

What a productive day we've had!  Cabinets and vanities were installed this morning, picked out granite, and picked out garage doors!
I cannot even tell you how excited I am about the cabinets!  They are beaUtiful!
Here's a little sneak peek of the master bath vanity and the granite for the kitchen and master bath:
