decore ideas

well here ar some shots of different ideas we have from lighting to tile and cabinets...... THis for you mom! I need help!

THis is a bathroom light i can't recall which bath, they are all similar

THis is my favorite tile, this would be for kitchen it is aslate gray with ocean recyled glass accent. i love this just don't know about going with a dark floor.... this would go with the glazed off white/ ivory cabinets.....

so this is the tile we had picked if we go with stained cabinets the flooring is more of a sandstone tan/ yellow gold mixes the granite is black and mocha mixed with some grays

this is a sample oven hood in the glazed cabinets we would go a little more off white with the distress darkened trim
THe brown, bone and glass tiles are for the master bath this is my fav! the speckled you see is not part of it

this is a fan we picked out

this is the entry way light this is a bad picture

moving quickly

well the house seems to be moving along fast yea!!! i am getting really excited to move and be able to get settled! I just pray that our other home starts having some lookers and potential buyers!! here are a few updated pictures. Plumbing rough in started at the end of last week and electrical is to start this week. We have done a primarily pick of tile and light fixtures. IF it all fits the budget its a done deal. The hardest thing, or what i am making the hardest decision is to have stained or glazed cabinets in the kitchen. That determines the floor tile..... i will ponder thata little longer......

Picture from across the road looking to left which is our closest neighbor and hope that is as close as they get....


Picture from across the road looking to the right there is an empty field which we hope to own one day or pray it NEVER develops!

Ashley very excited, meeting the inside of her new room for the first time!

Ashley Cracked me up toady, after she saw her room and i explained where her closet would be ( its not framed yet), then we went to see tyler's room. Tyler's closet is framed, it is a large but regular closet. Ashley's will be a walkin closet.... Well she said "Tyler you have a little closet, runs back to hers and says see how big mine is" as she points out the F.R.O.G. that her room and closet will back up to!!! LOL she thought the whole F.R.O.G. area ( 24ft x 36ft) was her closet! That is a girl after my heart! Her and I could only Dream of that!!!!

Tyler in his new future room!


The Roofer getting a great start!

Grandaddy Stewart

November 18, 1926- December 2,2010

84 wonderful years of a man that will always be remembered and greatly missed.
I only knew him for 12 years, but of those 12 years I learned a lot about him and he was a very special man. Wade looked up to him in a fatherly way. One of the fondest memories I have most recent of him and Wade together is fixing the carborator on his old Ford Blue Galazy 500 car and he and wade took it for a ride down Eastmont. Wade drove because grandad didn't think he had the strenth to drive the no powersteering car..... litttle did he say about the lack of brakes!!! It was a delight to see them roll into the back yard in it, Grandaddy had a huge smile on his face, to only then hop out of the car and proceed to show wade the leak in the motorhome's roof, wade climbs on the roof to check it out and before Wade could argue, Grandaddy was on the roof too! This all happen this past summer/ early fall. He was a very strong man and didn't let much get him down.
I was honored to help take him to and from many doctors appointments in the last few months of his blessed life. In those short visit together we had a bond form that i will never forget. I loved him as he was always my grandaddy too! I will add more pictures as i filter them out of the 24,000 on the computer.
