What's new? Well, some furniture. We got family room and morning room furniture. Sticking with our theme of "custom made" - you know the brand new house and all, of course we ended up getting special order furniture! We got a sectional, chair, and ottoman for the family room. We've gone back and forth for months on whether or not to get a sectional. We were worried that if we got a sectional we wouldn't have enough freedom to rearrange the room. But after thinking about it, we don't really have the option of doing that any way. Our TV needs to stay where it is, so we thought we'd just go for it and get the sectional. There's no picture, but I'll be sure to post one in 6 weeks when it comes in.
We were able to agree on morning room furniture more easily. Here's what we got: A table, six chairs, 3 stools for the breakfast bar, 2 for the island, and a server for our blank wall in the morning room.
I'm really happy with it. It is supposed to come in around the first week of August.
So, we're slowly making progress. They finally got moving on the outside of the house. Grass was planted a few weeks ago. It's doing great in some spots, but not so great in others. We've been going back and forth with our PM. The top soil they used was really bad. We have some big spots with piles of sand - no soil at all. The back yard is barely coming in. Overall, I'm not impressed with the job Ryan did with our yard. Hopefully, I'll be happy in the end. They finally did the rest of the outside painting, but that also needs some fixing.
On a positive note, our neighbors are fantastic! We've become good friends with them and we're loving the neighborhood.
Thanks for still reading! I'm off to get caught up on what's going on with you.
