Flooring for New House

Here's the flooring for the main living areas and kitchen. After talking with a couple of people who have brick, I decided against it. Just not really what we wanted. These are Prestige Historic 5" Plank wood foors with a slight hand-scraped look. Final price was $8.59 installed.

My little breakfast nook....finally found this black table and chairs at Target. It was much cheaper than the Pottery Barn set.

Emily at last night's 8th grade Volleyball game. We won but lost a player to a broken ankle during the game. If you look closing you can see that Emily is playing with a broken pinky finger.

Backsplash - Paris

I found this "Paris" tile backsplash and immediately thought it had great colors in it...very French Country looking...considering it for behind the rangetop.

Seonds Thoughts......

Ok..having some thoughts on the stained cabinets....I think I'm worried about them looking dated 15-20 years from now...maybe I should just go with a classic white instead...I've had these kitchens saved on my computer for a while...there is something crisp and clean feeling about the white, but I also love the warmth of the stain cabinets....Hmmmm...I just don't know.

Knotty Alder cabinet with a Pecan colored stain. This is what will be going into our new house. I never thought about doing Knotty Alder, but the builder took us to one of his houses and they were beautiful..It was love at first sight.

Beth Moore - Stepping Up

I just started a new Beth Moore bible study called "Stepping Up" which covers Psalms 120-134. We have our biggest group ever so I'm looking forward to the fellowship and learning about these 14 chapters.

House Plan

Here is the house that we will be building. We have tweeked the floorplan abit, but the exterior with look exactly the same as this picture.

The New House

We are finally ready to build on our land. Yeah!!! So, I'm going to try and document our building process here on my blog for the next 6-8 months. We are super excited and will be getting started with the road and the house pad in 3 weeks. So come along with The Fritcher Family and maybe you'll learn something along the way. You and me both!!!!
