Picked color for outside of house

Wanted a dark green and this is what we picked:

This will be very nice with the pavers we picked out for driveway and walkway. The shingles we picked were a chocolate brown color. And the trim was white. It should look really sharp.

Said they could start as soon as permits are pulled and filled. Can't wait!!! They said should take couple weeks time. We are also getting screen porch put on. YAY!!!

Have appointment with contractor this week

The people that we want to do our roof and painting on outside are stopping by hopefully Thursday so we can pick out shingles for roof, paint for house and approve new proposal. So excited. We are not only getting new paint and roof but they are going to knock down a weird wall outside the front area and put on a screen porch. Also getting new garage door and they are also taking up old driveway and sidewalk and putting down new cement which we have already picked out. Looks rustic. Hubby laughs at me cause I keep saying I want rustic here and there all over really. Well if we can't live in the mountains right now I want our house to look as if we are. haha.

Windows as far as we know are right on schedule for the 7th and 8th of July. So very excited about this. Especially for fall when we can open up the entire house! The 2 front bedrooms we haven't been able to use for many years now. And our windows in the living room are just window panes. I can't imagine the great fresh air and cross breeze we will have for the fall. And we are going to have Thanksgiving here. That will be so awesome! So I can't wait for the hot weather to get out of here just to utilize the windows haha.

New AC

Our noisy old ac unit

Signed contract to get windows installed

They should be put in July 7th or 8th. If not that week then following week. So that means we need to postpone the kitchen and tile work. The window people suggested not doing that till the windows were in. They are afraid they will damage the tile from taking out the sliding glass doors. And for the amount of money we are spending on tile I would rather wait. So sent off email to kitchen place to see if we can do it around August 15th. The AC is still on track to be put in Monday. Unless we have storms. I swear I feel like I am on a roller coaster lol. Just can't wait for it all to be done.

Lampshades

Found this website http://www.thecabinshop.com/117-aged_leather_lamp_shades.html. Love the different type of shades. I have real old lamps from my great grandparents that I want to keep but just update the shades. Why are lamp shades and accent pillows so expensive? I did however find some great pillows on sale up in TN for 11bucks a piece. That is a big bargain for what is out there!

Well new AC gets installed 6/13

I can not wait. Hubby told the guys it needed to be quiet. I can not imagine not having an AC that doesn't sound like a freakin airplane engine. I love to sit outside all the time and it will be like heaven having peace and quiet! Next week Window World is coming out to give us estimate and I really hope it isn't too expensive. Still waiting to hear back from the roof/construction people for bid on roof, painting and possibly a front porch. Kitchen gets started 6/22. Can't wait for everything to just be over and done with. Current health issues are going to make for very challenging couple of months. Gonna document all the changes and try to keep this updated for all that are interested. Thanks for reading!
