It's very difficult to just write about a quilt when Mom is really the star. I could try to describe the love and admiration I have for Mom, however we might not ever get to the quilt. So, that will be for another post.<br />
<br />
Suffice it to say, Mom is one beautiful and talented woman.<br />

<br />
She works full-time as an accountant and has no plans to retire. Yet, she still takes time to do wonderful things for her family.<br />
<br />
Mom made a quilt for me several years ago, which I will post on at a later date. She laughs when I tell her that quilt influenced me to built my new cottage, but it's true.<br />
<br />
Anyway, as many of you know, Larry and I were very sick Christmas Day and didn't get to be with my mom and sister (and her family.) So, I had not seen the quilt Mom worked on for a month and my sister unwrapped Christmas Day.<br />
<br />
She sent me a picture of it this past Sunday.<br />

<br />
I almost fell out of my chair when I saw this picture attached to an email. Each square is embroidered. Mom uses a Bernina. I am not certain of the model. This quilt is king size.<br />
<br />
Isn't is beautiful??? The quilt is almost a Harlequin design. Mom is going to make me one! Mine will be country blues.<br />
<br />
So, that is it. Can you imagine this spread across your bed!!! It is truly a work of art.<br />
<br />
Oh, one more thing. Mom will be 80 years old in July, 2012.<br />
<br />
Mom, I love you.....<br />

This was the first Christmas in my 56 years that I have not been with my mom on Christmas Day.<br />
<br />
Of course, it all worked out in the end, however on Christmas day, I was watching "The Christmas Story" a dozen times and missing Mother and crying a lot.<br />
<br />
Susan, my sister, was hosting Christmas Day at her home. She is 4 months pregnant and we could not risk anyone being near me with my fever. Larry and I were feeling too bad to enjoy the day, anyway.<br />
<br />
I love Christmas. I love everything about it. The shopping, the decorating, cooking, wrapping presents and being with my family. I have a large collection of Christmas movies. I love the spirit of Christmas. Everyone seems so different at Christmas. Celebrating the birth of our Lord and keeping him in our hearts seems to be renewed.<br />
<br />
I go a little nuts at Christmas with decorating. Before I got sick, I was able to get a lot of new decorations...all on sale. It is so rare that I pay 100% for anything. I realize some prices are marked up, but I feel good knowing I did NOT pay the regular sticker price.<br />
<br />
The first thing I HAD to have this year was purchased in Austin, Texas when Larry and I went to a friends wedding there. We stayed at the Barton Creek Country Club and Resort. After brunch, we saw a lovely shop filled with Christmas goodies.<br />
<br />

I wanted to take a few days off from work before Christmas to complete my decorating, shopping and wrapping. I still had 5 days of vacation left. However, we had a major project going on and I couldn't.<br />
<br />
My living room furniture finally arrived on the Tuesday before Christmas. The new carpet for the stairs and the media room came in and was installed before Christmas, as well. My furniture was the best Christmas present I could have received after waiting 13 weeks for it!!! <br />

I did take that Friday off. I shopped Friday morning and by early afternoon, the flu was full blown. I was so sick and came on home.<br />
<br />
It was cold and raining outside Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. I would take a wonderful hot bath, feel better for a few minutes, then back to bed. I changed from flannel pj's to a summer gown and still could not get comfortable. I would wrap a present and go back to bed.<br />
<br />
My Christmas tree never was finished and the top shelves of my family room bookcases were bare. I just didn't have the strength to complete them. My gifts started going into gift bags instead of my lovely hot-glue decorated packages.<br />

We unwrapped presents in our usual way...going around the room...one person at a time...one gift at a time. I hung in there, but it was difficult.<br />
<br />
Tuesday morning came and there was no way I could go to work. I was miserable. I went to work the rest of the week, and for a bookkeeper, the last week was the most important.<br />
<br />
On Saturday night, we had my mom and sister, and her family, and my children over. It was a lot of fun having another Christmas on New Year's Eve...strange, but fun.<br />
<br />
Wishing everyone good health in 2012.<br />

Hugs,<br />

The last Christmas Karen was with us, the Collins girls took a shopping trip to Old Town Spring. We planned this every year, however something always came up. We decided that day, this trip would be an annual thing. Little did we know that Karen would spend all future Christmas with The Lord. This is actually a wonderful thing for Karen, although not so much for those she left behind.<br />
<br />
This is a happy post, however.<br />
<br />
Karen love beads around everything...candles, chandeliers, pillows, drapes, lamps....you name it!! She went to a particular shop in OTS (Old Town Spring) for a lot of her beads.<br />
<br />
I took a lot of pictures in this store...until the owner told me to stop.<br />

Why I didn't take more pictures of other stores and the beautiful streets of OTS and the Collins Girls, I will never know.<br />
<br />
However, the one picture I took of us, I will cherish forever.<br />

I didn't want a formal living room in my cottage. I don't like rooms I don't use. I want a family room that everyone can enjoy.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Also, as I have mentioned before, I have AnnaBelle. She belonged to my beloved sister, Karen. AnnaBelle is as important in this home as the humans. She sheds, she cleans her feet on the sofa and gets it wet. Yuck!!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Then, there is Larry. He has recliners in his media room and a recliner in his study. He loves recliners and has ALWAYS had one in the family room. I don't want him upstairs in his media room all of the time. I want him with me!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So, instead of my dream of a white, slip-covered sofa, we ordered a leather sofa in the style and color I wanted....ok, not the color, however white leather is a little too much for me.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">I really didn't get a good
picture of the sofa and ottoman, however this should give you an idea.
You can see the swatch in the lower left corner.</span> <span style="color: black; font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Next came the decision of Larry's
recliner. Since my dream has been a sofa AND 4 chairs in the family
room, I decided on TWO recliners!!! Would this make matters worse? So,
what color should I choose? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Our last house has this huge brown leather
sectional AND love seat AND recliner. I was really tired of brown. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">In
my first cottage, I had navy blue leather. It was plushy and soft. I
was really able to get a warm, coziness with pillows and throws on navy
blue leather. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">So, navy blue it was.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">I was so excited on that day in September, that I didn't look at the estimated delivery date....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"><u><b>Between 12 and 16 weeks!!!</b></u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">I called Town and Country Leather the week before Thanksgiving and begged for my furniture. I explained that I didn't even see the delivery date on the order I signed until I was in the car.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">I was told that I ordered all Natuzzi leather and my furniture was coming either from Italy or China or some other overseas country.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">I don't care. They have had time to raise the cow, make my furniture and get it to me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Well, it just doesn't work like that :(</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">I explained that I was hosting Thanksgiving. That really does NOT get your furniture any quicker.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">So, I have learned a valuable lesson before having any special ordered furniture made.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">On with the story.........</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">My style passion is a mix between industrial, shabby chic, cottage and French country. My colors are white, cream, turquoise and blue.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">So, Restoration Hardware was having a sale a week ago. I have had my eye on something from them for a while.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">I ordered two of the Lyon chairs AND an ottoman. These SHOULD be delivered next week!</span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">There are so many more decisions for the family room...drapes, tables, paint color, etc.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">I wanted to wait on the main furniture before doing anything else.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">We have beautiful living room table set...coffee table, 2 end tables and sofa table. Yet, I just don't know that I will like these with my new furniture.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;">Until next time......</span><br />

It is massive as you can tell by the dimensions. When we moved into our traditional house, I was told I had to decorate in a more traditional up-scale way. Gone were the days of my cottage furniture and decorations I loved so much in my Cottage #1. I had to change ME.<br />
<br />
So, Larry went to a ball game and I went to an auction one Sunday after moving into the Traditional House. I fell in love with this piece of furniture. I decided I would get it for a song and antique it in white.<br />
<br />
It was the end of the auction and I had already told the manager of the furniture store going out of business that I wanted to bid on this piece. Finally, this piece came up.<br />
<br />
It retailed for $13,000. I didn't care. They wanted the stuff gone and I was willing to help. Unfortunately, they started the bid at $8,000. NO WAY!!! Then went down to $6,000. DUH!!! NOPE!!!<br />
<br />
"OK, young lady, you start the bidding since you wanted it."<br />
<br />
A. I am not young<br />
B. OK, I am game.<br />
<br />
"$500," I said. Everyone looked at me like I was nuts. Well, I had already spent money on other things, I was going to be over my limit that I promised myself.<br />
<br />
No one else was bidding on the piece, so I eventually got it for $3,500. It wasn't a steal, by any means. however it wasn't $13,000, either.<br />
<br />
So, I am now stuck with a huge piece of furniture that Larry and I love, however there is not way I will paint that piece white.....well......I don't think I ever will (wink.)<br />
<br />
When Larry and I decided to build our new cottage, we knew this piece would go in the dining room.<br />

It fit perfectly. If you have been reading my other posts, you will know that during the hardwood floor installation, I was sleeping on this borrowed sofa. My sofa will not be in until December.<br />
<br />
A couple of weeks ago, I decided to make a trip to the local Antique Mall in Spring, Texas. I do these kind of things when Larry goes to the Texans' games. I do love his season tickets. It is my guarantee each time the Texans play in town that I can go shopping.<br />
<br />
I wasn't in the mall 5 minutes when I saw the most beautiful dining set.<br />

So, I took pictures to show Larry. Then, I thought....he doesn't care what I put in the dining room.....so I bought the set and it was delivered the following week.<br />

It had just the right elegance to accompany the bookcase. And the turquoise velvet chairs....oh...do NOT get me started on turquoise. I love the color....You will see.<br />

You might have noticed the grandfather clock.<br />

It belonged to my mom and dad. I remember when they bought it in the 70's. Daddy loved those chimes....the rest of us hated midnight....12 long bongs. And there was no way Daddy would turn the chimes off.<br />
<br />
Daddy died of a sudden heart attack in 1993. He was only 67 years old. He loved his fried eggs, bacon and half a jar of jam. He looked healthy and was as fit on the outside as a man 30 years his junior. He still did his 100 push-ups every night. But he wasn't fit as a fiddle....not on the inside.<br />
<br />
Mom downsized several years ago and told me that I could have her beloved clock. I am so proud of it.<br />
<br />
Several weeks ago, I had purchased 2 chairs from Cost Plus World Market that were so pretty. I wasn't sure where they would go, but I had to have them.<br />
<br />
Immediately, I knew....<br />

Many more things are needed in this room...which I will update you on.<br />

So, that is my dining room so far.<br />

Having flooring installed after a move-in would not be bad if it were one or two rooms. However, we were having the entire house done!!<br />
<br />
During this time, there was....<br />
<br />
NO TELEVISION.....NO INTERNET......NO TELEPHONES....ok, we had cell phones. We had better keep them charged up or we wouldn't have that either :(<br />
<br />

This first week we rented dvds and watched other dvds we already owned. I was missing all of my good shows.<br />
<br />
So, I decided to use my cell phone to connect a laptop of the internet. I had never done that before. Sprint has unlimited data, so that is good. We connected the laptop to the tv and I was able to catch up on my favorite shows.<br />
<br />
That was the first week.<br />
<br />
The day finally came for the flooring installers to begin....Monday, October 3. Larry and I had both taken off from work to make certain we were all on the same page since Larry's office and game room would have different flooring.<br />
<br />
By 10 am, I am wondering where the installers are....by 11 am, I am calling Home Depot....The HD rep is trying to get the 3rd party installers to let her know what is going on.....<br />
<br />
We call HD back at 1...she has heard nothing.....At 4 pm, we find out the installers assigned to our home were running late on their last job.<br />
<br />
They would not be starting until Tuesday, October 4. Ok, Larry and I would have to stay home another day. Not good news to tell bosses :(<br />
<br />
So, Tuesday morning was spent with arguing about leveling material (float) and furniture being in the house. The installers had been told we paid for 10 bags of float. However, Home Depot had not delivered it. The installer didn't know that he was supposed to provide it.<br />
<br />
Also, the installer was told that the house wouldn't have any furniture. Yes, when the installation was to begin September 26, there would not have been any furniture, however, as we told Home Depot a dozen times, if they didn't begin the install until October 3, there WOULD be furniture....HEAVY furniture.<br />
<br />
I had to leave at noon to go to work and the installers were still waiting for the Home Depot rep to get back with them.....nothing being done.<br />
<br />
When I got home from work, some carpet had been pulled up and some float had been applied. A lot of furniture was more jammed than ever. Our movers were going to bring the rest of our heavy furniture the following Saturday and the refrigerator was being delivered Friday.<br />
<br />
Our oldest son, Richard, is staying with us. He has been a tolal lifesaver in all of this. It's wonderful to have your own private superintendent. <br />
<br />
During this time, Larry was sleeping in his office recliner and I was sleeping on a borrowed sofa. Many sleepless nights and back pain.<br />
<br />
Finally, one room is done...the dining room. The flooring is beautiful. <br />
<br />

<br />
Richard's bedroom, foyer, the guest bedroom, the 2 and 1/2 baths and the utility rooms were NOT having the flooring changed out. So, these were the rooms were everything was piled up.<br />
<br />
<br />
Larry's office became the installer's workroom.<br />

After all was said and done, the flooring was beautiful. 10 years ago, Larry and I could have put this flooring down. Not now. Back and knee and hip problems have stopped many of the wonderful DYI projects we loved in Cottage #1. Those days were over.<br />
<br />
There were are are many more projects to be done. As I write this a month later, I can tell you many have been done. Richard, our oldest son is actually working on the painting and trim in rooms we went basic on with the builder.<br />
<br />
Much, much more to come.<br />
<br />
Hugs,<br />

<br />
Moving out of our beautiful home was bitter-sweet. I never loved this house. I felt over-whelmed by this house. It was 4,000 square feet that <b>should have been</b> decorated.<br />
<br />
I wanted a one-story when we built our red brick house 4 years ago. However, we fell in love with the subdivision and we were told that we couldn't build a one-story on a large lot. We actually wanted a 1 1/2 story with the game room and media room upstairs.<br />
<br />
Besides the small lots, all of the one-stories offered by the builders of the subdivision were wrong. One builder's 1 1/2 story had a garage in front of the house where the driveway headed toward the front door. Another builder's 1 1/2 story had the staircase completely closed in. All of the rooms seemed cut off and the useless formal dining room and living rooms were present in all of them.<br />
<br />
We would have to spend a lot of money to have walls moved and turned into a more open floor plan. We just could not afford it.<br />
<br />
Larry may think I don't remember why we didn't build one of the 1 1/2 story homes, however I do. There were too many things I didn't like.<br />
<br />
So, we found a builder who offered a very large home on a very large lot across from the lake and waterfall for a good price. We were able to have a few upgrades, however not all of the ones I wanted. If you look at pictures above, you will see a small front porch. That was an upgrade, but we could do it!!<br />
<br />
There are many things I miss about our traditional house. I hope, one day, Larry will read this post and know that.<br />
<br />

I wanted white, he wanted recliners.<br />
<br />
Believe me, I have considered all of the options.<br />
<br />
AnnaBelle...black, white and brown Toy Rat Terrier....sheds. She loves to groom herself on my sofa, which gets the sofa wet. I refuse to tell her she cannot get on the sofa beside me.<br />
<br />
AnnaBelle was my sister's beloved fur baby.<br />

Why show pictures of Karen and Annabelle. Because I love to look at Karen. I love to look at pictures of Karen and AnnaBelle together.<br />
<br />
Karen, my sister, died in a tragic car accident 3 years ago. I took in AnnaBelle. At the time, I had Tina, my Malti-Poo. Tina passed away this March of cancer.<br />
<br />
Karen is in Heaven taking care of my Tina and I take care of her AnnaBelle. <br />
<br />
Therefore, AnnaBelle will <b>NOT</b> be told that she cannot be on the sofa.<br />
<br />
As I said, I wanted a white leather sofa...or even cream. Sarah has leather in her family room, so I thought I could, too. This is her amazing home tour: <a href="http://www.abeachcottage.com/beach-cottage-tour" target="_blank">Beach Cottage Tour</a><br />

Part 2 soon.<br />

We couldn't. The flooring we wanted would have been double the price we paid through Home Depot. <br />
<br />
We closed on September 21 and began bringing some of our things over the following weekend. Our son & DIL had to be out of their apartment by October 15...that meant his apartment thoroughly empty and thorough clean. Also, they had a function 100 miles away the weekend of October 15, so they really had to be done by October 12.<br />
<br />
I will go into that in another post.<br />
<br />
Even though we ordered the measuring and flooring and paid for it all before we closed, the flooring would not be delivered until a 1 1/2 weeks AFTER we closed. Then, the material has to acclimate to our home for 3 days. <br />
<br />
The install date was now October 3. With my husband, son, DIL and I all working full time jobs, this was going to be crazy. We had to get our heavy furniture moved by a moving company on October 1.<br />
<br />
We didn't want it this way and were told by Home Depot that the install could start September 26, however that was not to be.<br />
<br />
So, the wood is delivered September 30 and the movers delivered our heavy furniture October 1. Here we go:<br />

The wood and pad and trim is everywhere in boxes. I knew when the wood installers arrived on Monday, October 3, they would NOT be happy. The original plan was that our house would be empty if the flooring was installed the week of September 26.<br />
<br />
I was so excited about the wood, I started making pictures. I could not believe we were having real hard wood floors and not laminate wood.<br />

Larry chose a complimenting floor for his office and game room.<br />
<br />
However, for the rest of the house, I made the choice of Hickory Chestnut. It is hand-scraped and distressed. Some parts of my home look like a 100 year old home that has been upgraded. That was what I wanted!!<br />

I could not believe I was having real wood installed....and planks at that. Laminate wood flooring was so easy to take care of. However, when you have beveled planks, that is another story. You do NOT want any liquids getting down in between the blanks, so no more Swifter for these floors. A good vacuum and a gentle mop with a little of the proper cleaning product....I still have to research the proper cleaning product.<br />
<br />
Stay tuned for Part 2.<br />
<br />
Have an awesome Friday.<br />

It has been both crazy and fun. There are so many things I have to tell you.<br />
<br />
First, the mosaic in the kitchen was completely redone a couple of days prior to closing. We had to wait for a new one to come in. It is now centered...Yeah!!!<br />

The big day of the closing went off without a hitch. We closed, we met with our builder and received our keys.<br />
<br />
We went to the Water District office to get the water changed into our name. We ate lunch. We went to the Homeowners' Association office to get tags for the gate.<br />
<br />
I know we did other things, however, I just cannot remember. It was an exciting day.<br />
<br />
Larry and I went back to our new house in the early evening. The sun was setting and it was a beautiful day.<br />
<br />
Our new cottage:<br />

We had brought a couple of boxes over and I wanted to set out just one thing to know this house was ours.<br />
<br />
I chose my lovely Asian man and woman that I hold very dearly to my heart. Larry's mother gave me this set in the 80's.<br />
<br />
Although they will not stay in the kitchen, that is where I put them to put my mark on my cottage.<br />

Please don't mind the carpet in the kitchen. All of the carpet has been replaced now with hardwood floors :)<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I received an email from my wonderful sales person with David Weekley yesterday. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">She told me that the Blue Pearl Granite counter tops were in. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I could not wait for lunch time to get here today to go to my cottage and see them.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My kitchen looks like it came out of a magazine. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The master bath is awesome. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I called my builder and asked him could a person really fall in love with a kitchen. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">He laughed. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Then, I started crying...so silly...and I thanked him for the extra care he has given to my home. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Wait until you see what I saw:</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">You can see the board and batten ceiling on our back
porch. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I want to paint this blue. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It is a ramp type instead of steps, which I
am very happy about. You see the four posts? These will be cut down to
4 feet and the cedar fence and gate installed here. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">When we have the
pool and waterfall put in, we will put an iron fence and gate between the
house and garage. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I wish we could have an iron gate all of the way
around, however we are not on a lake view lot, therefore we must have
the cedar fence. We always stain our cedar fences. I do not like the
weathered gray cedar fence.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> The doggy dog was installed the last time, however I am not certain if I said anything about it. The first door looked awful. It was tiny with only one flap. This door is great. It is made for installing in a wall. It will get in the way of my drapes, so I will have to adjust for that. It's much better than getting up and down to let AnnaBelle in and out :)</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> Ceiling fans installed in family room and master bedroom. I love them. They are rubbed oil bronze and simple. We will have ceiling fans installed in all bedrooms and offices, plus the back porch and front porch. I am very excited about choosing those. While I love the chandelier look, ceiling fans are just more practical for us. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">David Weekley Homes has a pre-sheetrock meeting between the client and the builder.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">At this point, you and the builder can discuss any problems either of you see. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I took about 50 pictures. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have a picture of every wall in my house so I know where all pipes and wires are. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I don't want to hang a picture on the wall and put a hole in a water pipe.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Also, I know where the load bearing walls are. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This is good in case we might remodel in the future. </span></div>

This is one of the most peaceful rooms I have seen yet. I am crazy about the stencil art.<br />
<br />
The color choice was Martha Living Aegean Blue, however Behr paint and primer in one was used. The beautiful stencil was from <a href="http://cuttingedgestencils.com/">Cutting Edge Stencils</a> using the trim paint as one layer and a pearl acrylic for the shadow layer.<br />
