We took pictures of the model home to keep the dream alive for us while we wait. The house should be finished in October. There a lots of pictures here, so bear with me.
I will keep you all posted on the progress. This is so exciting for us. Here are some differences between what we have now to what we will have: 1100 sq. ft., 3 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms(one is combined with the laundry room), no pantry, no walk-in closets, the ones we have are really tiny, we share a bathroom with our children, there is no storage, no garage, tiny backyard type thing, sharing walls, rental, split level, teeny tiny kitchen(hardly two people can be in there at the same time). The upgrade: 2000 sq. ft., 4 spacious bedrooms with large walk-in closets, 2 full baths(1 for kids 1 for parents), 1 powder room (that does not double as a laundry room) large pantry, garage, loft area for kids, family room, living room, large kitchen, large master bedroom, etc... We are truly grateful for the place we have called home for the past 6 years. We have many wonderful memories from here and have had 4 kids here. But we are looking forward to the fantastic changes we are about to undergo. Sorry this was so unbelieveably long.
Living Room(sadly we don't get any of the furniture).
The front door and closet.
The "powder room" just off the living room.
Living room window.
Family room.
Family room from another angle.
Dining room/kitchen.
Dining room/kitchen. We will have more cabinets than this one has and we will have a fridge. Haha.
The pantry, you can't tell how big this actually is, but it is quite large. Seeing as how we don't even have a pantry now this is a huge deal for me. Oh, and the door to the garage is right there by Mark. Another lovely addition we don't currently have at our town home.
Other side of the pantry, then under the stairs area, with crawl space door hidden in the carpet.
View of the backyard and a reflection of me taking a picture of it apparently.
Another view of the dining room and living room.
Up the stairs. There will be a wall here making this the 4th bedroom.
Walk-in closet that doesn't look as big in this picture as it actually is.
Loft area by that future 4th bedroom, master bedroom doorway right there. That desk is where our laundry closet will be. No more walking up and down the stair lugging laundry! Yay!!
Hall bathroom. The will finally have their own bathroom, which means no more sharing and no more messy, crowded bathroom!! Yay!!
Another bedroom.
Another large walk-in closet.
Another bedroom at the end of the hall.
Another walk-in closet for that room.
Master bedroom, this room seems huge to me when I am in it. Our current room is so small and has unusable space.
Another angle.
Linen closet on the right, large bathtub/shower.
Another angle of the same thing.
The large bathtub.
Toilet area, I like to call it a toilet cubby.
One side of the large walk-in closet.
Other side.
The middle.
This is the lot. We will still be in Spanish Fork. Behind us is a historical old sugar beet factory. I recently learned what those are. I think it is really cool and I welcome the ghosts that may come from it. It will be a good excuse to have the Ghost Hunters as company.
This is the exterior colors of the house. We got the free stucco upgrade. The khaky is the color around the windows. We will have dark blue shutters.
The cabinets and carpet we chose.
The combo the the counter, cabinets and carpet we chose. The pictures don't do the counter tops justice.
Now it's the last combination with the kitchen flooring added in and the paint color that looks nothing like that, haha.
Now the combo with the bathroom flooring.
Now it's a party!
They finally dug our lot. That is our powder room on the left. We are hoping it looks a little better when the house is finished.
The dug lot...again.
They started on the foundation earlier this week.
