We're In The Home Stretch!!!

We are counting down the days until the house is finished! This is the exciting time because every day something else is completed. Recently, the kitchen island/dining room lighting was installed. Here's a sneak peek:

I bought both chandeliers from Shades of Light and I'm happy with the results.

I've been dreading making decisions about the landscaping, but the time has come. I really have no interest in gardening, but I want my patio/landscaping to look nice. So, this is one area that I'll leave up to the landscapers.

But, I do have some inspiration photos:  :)
