On House Progress

Trying hard to get in the house by Thanksgiving…

 Cabinets and Countertops are done!  
I adore my cabinets and glad I didn’t compromise.  
Thank you to HomeWorks of Arkansas for Dwight’s gorgeous woodwork. 
We did green granite on island, and cherry on rest of countertops.
I had vintage colors we found matched for island and cabinet colors.  
Still have to pick wall color, install tile backsplashes, dishwasher/fridge panels, and install faucet. 
The floors came out beautifully.  We used Monocoat in Dark Oak (an all natural, LEED certified product.)  Scott did the upstairs and we had McMillon and Sons do the downstairs.  
This weekend we framed in the playroom and got most of the sheetrock done (except for all of the ceiling.)  Hopefully we’ll get it floated soon and then I can paint and start cabinets there….
Thankful for a great hubby who knows how to do everything and an awesome brother in law that takes time from his vacation to come help us! 

On Turning the Truck Around or BOOT GIVEAWAY!

 What do you get when you have eight lady bloggers,
a gorgeous candy-apple red truck,
and a sultry, early fall evening?
 FUN!

 A few of my bloggin’ buddies got together to show off boots that Country Outfitter gave us this summer.   (Just give us any excuse to get together!) Pictured above from left to right are:  Alison, Jacklyn, Me, Jerusalem, Melissa, Kyran, and SarabethWhitney (who also takes all our family pictures) took all of these beautiful pictures and she and Alison made the yummy homemade margaritas and snacks.

 I have always wanted cowboy boots.  I adore my Ariat’s from Country Outfitter.  My feet don’t like many shoes so you know they are comfortable.  Hey, don’t tell my kids but I think at least a few of them are getting boots for Christmas…
