Texture, Carpet, Painting and Previews!

On December 28th they started to put in the texture on the walls of the kitchen and bathroom! Finally the rooms were starting to look more like they would in the long run.

The next day, December 29th, Brian the representative, came from Empire Today to discuss our carpets upstairs. After much negotiation, and a price cut not so much in his favor, we picked our carpets! He requested that I take his picture, so his smiling face is below. And I'm not sure if you can read the names on the carpet colors, but we picked "Sandy Shores", which is the 2nd color down on the left-most column.

After this, we had a little while to wait. The texture was sprayed, finished, and dried in all the rooms. Doorways were installed in all the upstairs areas, and window sills were put in in the upstairs bathroom and kitchen.

After this, we got ahold of Pablo our painter, and he started to paint on Monday, January 3rd. He's been painting pretty much nonstop for the past 3-4 days. I mean, he was even there tonight at eleven when I went to pick-up my car! Hooray for dedication.

I would never have the guts to stand on a ladder like that and paint the walls.

I absolutely LOVE the color in the bathroom!!! The downstairs bathroom is the same color, but it hard to get a picture of it since it's so small. You can see the original swatch we used on the floor lol.

And these are picture of the now almost finished hallway and bedroom!! NO MORE PURPLE WALLS!! So exciting :]. And I love the walls in the hallway. Sooo gorgeous.

So there you have it! Almost everything is painted. There are still spots that need touch-up, as well as the the inside of the closets and ceilings that need to be repainted. The cabinets were installed this morning, or well at least in the kitchen and bathrooms. The linen cabinets and make-up vanity will be installed on Monday, and granite is coming in on Saturday!!!

I know you all want to see pictures of the cabinets, but I can't show you everything at once silly. If you saw my Facebook, you got a hint of the beginning of the installation. Tomorrow I'll post more pictures from the kitchen and bathrooms. Oh and we picked out a chandelier over the dining table and outside light today too!

Goodnight!

P.s. - Ok ok, to those who didn't see it, here's the preview of the cabinets:
