The flooring drama continues...

And so it continues...our wood floors started out last week "on a boat" and moved to "on the water" so we are making progress but that boat aint moving fast enough. The floors are scheduled to arrive in Des Moines, Iowa on October 27th...one day before we are supposed to close. That's IF they make it through customs without any issues. Usually builders schedule the closing date 2 weeks out from when the floor is laid so they can do clean up and touch ups.  Our close date is tentatively rescheduled for November 15th. This is quite disheartening since we have been operating under the notion that everything was on time...haha, silly us. They are still honoring the commitment to get us moved in by Thanksgiving but I liked that October date alot better.

To add to the wood floor drama above, on our weekly visit to the house we came across this:

Ewww...that tile looks butter yellow in person. Although you can't tell that much in the photos, it's horrible. This tile was laid in 2 bathrooms and the laundry room and now needs to be tore up and relaid with the actual color we ordered. It's the correct tile just the totally wrong color. Apparently a box was mislabeled so the tilers just went to work not knowing any different. So I guess we might need to use those extra couple of weeks to fix this one.

On a positive note we did come across this beautiful tile which we LOVE!

Mud room - view from garage looking into the kitchen.

Master bath...can't wait to get in that shower!

And then we went to the basement and saw this tile:

Downstairs bath - I really like this tile with the blue paint color.

If you have been paying attention I have shown you 3 bathrooms on 3 different levels but what do they all have in common?? Ok, besides same vanity and trim color, that's a given right? Oh yeah, they are all BLUE! Whoops on my part! We only were able to choose 2 paint colors so I wanted to get my money's worth out of the blue color and before I knew it almost all of the bathrooms ended up blue (actual color name is Smoke Gray by Benjamin Moore if you want to copy, I don't mind considering I copied first). So, if you have an ideas of what to do with all of this blueness, please let me know!

Here are just a few other photos from around the house now that the paint is on and all of the plastic wrap is gone.

Office room shelves...again it's painted blue!

Can lights are installed throughout the house, so are the electrical outlets but I didn't bore you with a picture of those. Pretty standard stuff there!

The banister - I just dig the light and dark contrast and then the paint color is just enough.

That's it for this week...hope you enjoyed the abundance of (blue) photos!
