On Friday, October 19th, John and I visited the house before taking care of several errands. That afternoon, we visited three different vendors, selecting carpet for the upstairs bedrooms and granite for the kitchen countertops and compared appliances (but haven't settled on final selections). All this shopping is a little foreign to us. Besides this Friday, we've also been shopping at home in Georgia trying to purchase all the light fixtures we need. I guess we could kindly be described as frugal. Our issue is that instead of seeing a single purchase price for the house, we are actually seeing what each component costs, and that can be a bit overwhelming.
Since our last visit, the builder has been hanging doors and doing as much trim work as he could while waiting for the cabinet contractor to return from vacation. There is trim around the windows, crown moulding and baseboards - we are very pleased with how it looks, but photos don't really capture it as a dramatic change - the white trim disappears against the white primed walls. The stairs below are a clearly visible change, however:
Here I am next to the fireplace, which is ready for the rock. Note that I am holding stickers in my left hand that I was peeling off the windows (I couldn't help myself!)

The staircase banister thing is very cool---I like all the squares you have going on in the house.
