Progress!

My apologies for not updating the blog for so long, but nothing much has been happening with the new house. We ended up having to get bids from other builders, as the builder we were planning to use did not work out. We have now chosen a builder and signed the contract. Groundbreaking should occur within 15 days of when we signed the contract, so we have PROGRESS!

Our kitchen design is finished and I really like it. I still haven't mapped out the planned kitchen island to see if it will work for me. I want to draw the actual island top to scale and put my cookie sheets on it to make sure the width of the 2 levels of the counter will be functional.

I am also still undecided about the Alkemi. As it turns out, it would cost more than granite, and we weren't sure what color of granite or quartz would coordinate with the Alkemi. I still really like the look of it though...perhaps we can use it in a bathroom instead.

Now we get to start making lots of decisions. We'd like to get things decided as early as possible so we don't end up having to settle for something that isn't just what we want because we don't have time to research our options.

Here we go!
