Published on February 26, 2016 We are finally sharing a house update! I know it’s been awhile, but I didn’t think you would be interested in seeing a bunch of boring dry wall pictures. Well, things are moving along and our house is really taking shape! The finish work is mostly done and we are in LOVE!! I seriously get butterflies every time we go up to our house. It still feels unreal. I can’t believe we are really building our dream house! We have been enjoying the process. Several people told us that building a house would ruin our marriage and cause a ton of stress, but we have had so much fun. It’s been an exciting journey. Our builder, Fox Group Construction, is amazing! We have loved working with Tom and his crew! I told Josh I am starting to get sad that our house is almost finished because I don’t want it to end. Sure, I am excited to move in, but I have loved the entire process. Today, we are sharing some photos from the inside of our new house! Let’s go on a little tour!
I love the fireplace in our great room! It turned out better than we were expecting. I love the detail! The big white space is for Josh’s dream TV. He told me it HAD to be that big or it wouldn’t look right on the fireplace. It’s a big fireplace and a small TV would look awkward, but I think it was his way of getting his dream TV:)
We love natural light so we put in a lot of Pella windows. The great room windows are our favorite because they collapse and open up to our outdoor patio. We will demonstrate them once the patio is done. They are SO cool and will be perfect for entertaining!
Our builder got a little shiplap happy and we are SO glad because we LOVE it! It’s not even painted yet and it already makes the main area so pretty!
The shiplap goes up the entire staircase! It will be painted white soon!
This is our future kitchen. It doesn’t look like much now, but you just wait. We have some grand plans for this area of the house!
Our back door is a Dutch door from Rejuvenation. One of my requirements for our new house was a Dutch door because I love them! I think the door is so cute and will look even better once it is painted black!
We did a fun black and white Cement Tile in the guest bathroom. Classy and fun!
In the master bathroom, we are putting in calacatta gold marble tile from Contempo Tile. It is so pretty!
That little corner of the master bathroom will be the home of my freestanding tub! I can’t wait!
This is my half of the master closet. I have never had a “real” closet before so I am super excited. I might have to buy more shoes:)
Our cabinets are being built right now by Benjamin Blackwelder Cabinetry. Benjamin does AMAZING work and we are so so so excited for our cabinets! We visited his shop in Alpine, Utah to see the process and we were both blown away! Josh was drooling over the neat equipment.
This is the start of our boy’s vanity for their bathroom. I am in love already!
We are working with Pottery Barn Kids to design the boy’s bedrooms. They boys are excited and so are we! Their rooms are going to be super fun! The next step is paint! We will share another update soon! Thanks for going on a house tour with us! Have a great weekend!

Published on May 06, 2016 Happy Friday! Today, we are sharing a quick house update. We are getting SO close. We hope to move in in about a month. Eeek!! We can’t wait. Things are looking good! Let’s go on a little tour! First of all, look at our gorgeous interior doors. Our builder, Tom, suggested black interior doors for our home and at first I thought he was crazy, but we thought about it and decided to go for it. I am SO glad we did. I LOVE the black doors. They are stunning. FYI-the paint color is Tricorn Black from Sherwin-Williams. It is the perfect black!
The fireplace in our master bedroom is looking good. They will finish the front with a piece of marble soon!
The barn doors are going in our master bathroom! I LOVE them!
The tile in our master bathroom is gorgeous! Tom had the idea to do a tile rug and it turned out even better than I thought it would. Tom knows his stuff:)
The kitchen is taking shape! I love the ceiling and wood beams. I can’t wait to get the cabinets and appliances in:)
They have been painting the interior of our house for about a month…there is a lot to paint. The shiplap is looking GOOD! The color is Extra White by Sherwin-Williams!
Benjamin Blackwelder Cabinetry is doing the cabinets in our home and I am SUPER excited! Benjamin does amazing work and I can’t wait to see all of the cabinets come together. Here is a sneak peak at the mudroom lockers.
Our Dutch door from Rejuvenation got a pretty paint job!! I love it! Again, the color is Tricorn Black from Sherwin-Williams! The next couple of weeks are going to be very exciting! We love watching our house come together! We will share more soon! Have a great weekend! You can read more about our house project here!
