Well we finally have a closing date. Only 5 weeks to go and we will be home owners once again. There has been a flurry of activity down at the house.
This week the big news is the wood flooring being installed! We did not get down there before they completed the kitchen and covered it up but look at the cross buck door that was installed!:) |
When building you have to look past all the messes. You have no idea how I much want to put a huge "Don't Touch" sign on our farmhouse sink and faucet. |
Oh look there is our flooring!:) |
We went lighter than our last house and was not sure what our reaction was going to be once we saw it down. |
I have to say I am in love with how it turned out! |
The flooring was originally going to be installed north to south but I really wanted it installed from east to west like our last home. Thankfully Mr. Front Porch gave in and our builder was willing to accommodate. |
If you are longing for fall inspiration today though head on over to my pal Courtney at French Country Cottage. You will not be disappointed! |
SE TEXAS? I'm from Kountze, girl! I'm in NE Texas now, but I didn't realize you were in SE Texas! Stomping grounds!
ReplyDeleteWell hello NE Texas!:)
DeleteI luv the new floors!!! We also installed our floor against the traditional way. Got some flack 'bout it from the builder, but I had to remind him that it WAS our home, and we wanted it this way! I don't regret my decision at all.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your back porch tomorrow. Have missed you décor posts!!!
Hugs, Gee
Thank you Gee! Our builder gave up on questioning my decisions!LOL.
DeleteLove the flooring! i know you can't wait to get in your new home. can't wait to see when it's all done. Hugs,
ReplyDeleteThank you Lynn! It can not come soon enough.
DeleteIt looks wonderful! I bet you are really excited. I know what you mean about not decorating or DIY's. When we moved into this house a year and a half ago, it was not more than a week when we realized our mistake. So we finally put this house on the market a few months ago. I am looking forward to finding a new to us home that I can make mine. I also just did a little fall decorating...come see!
ReplyDeleteI hate that you did not enjoy your new home Penny! I bet you will LOVE your next one! Can not wait to see where you land.
DeleteLove the floor color and you will be in before you know it!
ReplyDeleteThank you Kim!
DeleteTo funny about not having a project. I'm sure you will be busy soon enough. The floors are beautiful! Love the updates. I so agree with you on the floor direction.
ReplyDeleteYes indeed Nancy! There will be tons to do once we get moved in.
DeletePamela,
ReplyDeleteYour wood floor is beautiful. I've never heard of running flooring north/south versus east/west. Your flooring looks beautiful as shown. It was 100° two days ago in north Texas, so we are still waiting for Fall weather to arrive.

Thank you Judith! This hot weather needs to go away pronto.
DeleteI like the paint color with the flooring. Don't you think when your furniture and window treatments are in it will look good?
ReplyDeletePamela, love the floor...beautiful! Pam @ Everyday Living
