Planning, Planning, and Planning.

Long time no post right? Things have been crazy for us these last few months. We went on an trip to Jamaica, Possum Kingdom, THUNDERING UP ;) and have been totally MIA most weekends.

You cant leave a thunder game without jumping with the Cox bubble! Me and the 4 year olds...

Update on the house:
We finally have walls and it looks like a REAL place! It is so crazy how much different it looks when the walls go up. It has been so much fun for us to pick out everything we want. What I have learned about building/designing a house:

1. It is absolutely impossible to make people understand that not eveerryyyonne is traditional and likes brown, brown and more brown. I have had to make an extra effort at places to find a different style. I like my fixtures and kitchen more contemporary which is very hard to come by around here. Oklahoma City is very french country/traditional...which is BEAUTIFUL but just not us.

Here are some sneak peeks into our selections:

I made a joke to somebody that I would have no lights in the rest of the house if I could have these in the kitchen. I thought they would TOTALLY be out of our price range but we found some that were! We are doing bronze industrial pendants over the island. These are going to be my favorite part of the house I already know it!

Again, this is not a picture of our kitchen yet. But we decided on white subway tile with gray grout! I am so excited about this too. Trey was laughing at how obsessed I was with getting the kitchen right. I feel like the kitchen is your statement room of the house.

I have had really great luck at Ballard Designs lately. I have gotten our dining room fixture among a few other things. If you are thinking about re-doing a room in your house or building. Check them out! They really reward you too. We have gotten so many gift cards in the mail after ordering something from them!

Update soon on cabinets and paint. Its rollin' quick now! :)
