Paint, Doors & Tile

Well hello! It's been a while since I've written on here with a house update..I'm a slacker. Regardless, the house doesn't look much different since the last update.

We're mid-April and the interior and exterior walls have been painted, baseboards are installed and we have garage doors. Since March 8th to now, it seems like not a lot has happened. I think the builders are putting more focus on the house across the street, because they seem like they're almost done....it's ok fellas, we'll sit here, patient (not!) and just wait...it's not like our contract started first or anything.... I'm pretty peeved about it, I want to move in already dammit!

Anyways, the bedroom color we chose is a bit darker than the rest of the house' paint color, especially when you look at the paint sample that you find at the store (I didn't take a picture, I suck). However, the color doesn't have them same darkness when it's on the walls. Our real estate agent was a bit surprised, she said she didn't even see a difference between the master and the rest of the house.

Here are some pictures:

We did have a few more updates that I didn't mention earlier in this post. The tile was laid in both bathroom showers, and a little bit around the floors: vuala!!

Here I am, super duper excited about my new, clean bathtub! Finally able to sit in it!

best upgrade of the house, the floor in the shower is tile! Screw the white plastic pan!

That last picture, I'm afraid, may be the last panoramic I am going to be able to take of the house until we move in. The builders caught on to our secret open window in the spare bedroom, so we can't climb in anymore.. :(  We did stop by the house on Sunday, 4.12, but were unable to get inside. They did appear to have laid more tile in the kitchen, but it didn't appear to have the grout installed yet. Again, I think the builder is putting more efforts into the house across the street.

Well, that's it, I'm finally caught up (timeline wise) since I started this whole house update deal. We have a projected close date of mid-May, so we're hoping for 5/15/15...FINGERS CROSSED!!

That's it for now........
