Almost Home: The Inside View

Here is the inside. 

The front door is not on the house yet.  Our contractor waits until the last minute so that the subs don't ding it up.  

View of kitchen and dining room.

View of the living room.  Appliances were delivered yesterday so some are in the still in the living room.

The wood stove with slate.

 Heading up the stairs looking down at the office.

 Wren's Room

 Dakota's Room

Master Bedroom:  Our bed will be centered under these windows.

And our master bathroom.  This is the shower.

 This is the shower floor.  We are particularly proud of this.  All the stones were gathered from the rock bars on the Salmon River over the course of a number of family and work trips.

And then when we went to pick out the counter tops, we found this amazing  piece of stone.  So this is it for now.  I don't think I will post again until we have moved and maybe not until after Christmas.
 

Almost Home: The Outside View

It's been busy around here.  I realize I have not posted since September...


So here is a set of photos of the outside of the house.  It is essentially done.  Our plan is to be sleeping in our beds in the new house by the 15th of December.

Welcome to our home.  This is the front walk up to the house. In the winter you can actually see the front of the house so it was a good day to take a picture.

This is the south side.  The awning is designed to block the sun in the summer but let all the sun in during the winter months.  It is working so far.

This is our north side porch.  A place where we plan to spend many meals in the spring, summer and fall. 

This is the back stoop that faces east out of the kitchen to the linden tree.

This is the view of our "complex" from the south.  The carport has the solar panels. The house has the solar hot water heater.  We hope to paint the carport at some point to match the house which will make the whole place look better.  (A project for later.)
