I love my bamboo flooring. Love it. Very good choice. 5 years and it’s still fabulous.

Don’t skimp on your new faucets! Stick with the better brands and make sure that when the plumbers install them they use quarter turn shut-off valves and threaded connections. The last thing you want is to have to do is mess with sweated fittings when you want to change a faucet out.

Yay! Congratulations again on the new house, it looks gorgeous and I can’t wait to see the inside finished and with all your personal touches!

Your house looks fabulous, especially with the bathroom carpet gone. That’s just so wrong.
Even though we live in a house now, it was my husband’s before we were married, so I have yet to experience the thrill of moving in somewhere that I’ve partially chosen. I can’t wait!

I am so jealous. I am almost envious of you living in a hotel and getting to go home when everything’s complete.

I said ALMOST.

We may possibly listen to Abba while Peter is installing the afforementioned lights. I do have their greatest hits because I’m classy like that.

You go to Lowe’s (or Menard’s because Peter says they’re better). You buy light fixtures that you like. You invite us over for something delicious. Peter then installs new light fixtures very quickly ’cause he’s handy like that. We then have a lovely dessert you made for us. Then End.

Is it me or do those kitchen light fixtures somehow resemble a deformed set of testicles? I’m not sayin’. But I’m just sayin’.

If you are paying electricians I would so remove the 2 lights and put in one. Depeding on how high the ceilings are you could probably do something that hangs a bit. Easier to replace the bulbs instead of recessed.
