More Photos of the House

OK, hopefully this isn't overkill on the house photos. Nathan went to LA for a conference and rented a car so he could drive out the coast and see the house. He took 238 pictures and I narrowed it down to 18 to post on this blog and then pared it down again to 8. I was trying not to go crazy with the pictures especially because this is only a model of what my house will resemble and I figure that no one is looking at this blog anyway. :)

So, first picture. This is a view from standing in the family room looking into the kitchen. You can see the pantry on the right along with the nook.Now, looking from the kitchen to the family room. The family room is pretty big, you just can't see that from this particular angle.

This is one of my favorite features in the house. It is from the Master bedroom looking out to our entryway. We have a circular entry that says "the master of the house lives in this room." :) I included 2 pictures because the second one better shows the ceiling while this one you can see the floor better. There a niches on both sides of the entry as well. You can also see out into the loft better on the second picture.

This is the master bedroom. I could have included 10 pictures here to get all the angles and the perspective a bit better, but I only posted 2. The princess balcony is there in the sitting area which overlooks the courtyard. The second one has my glorious wall of windows and the door out to my very large private balcony. The sitting area also has some built in shelving and we moved the fireplace over there as well.
This is the master bathroom. We will have a step up to the tub and we did 1 large widow instead of the 3. There is also built in shelving in a nook on the right side of the tub. You can also catch a glimpse of the separate vanity area at the bottom of the picture. We will also have a large skylight in this area of the bathroom. The second picture shows the relationship of the vanities to the tub a bit better. I'm not lovin' that bright red marble. Yikes!The toilet room and the shower on on each side of that arch and the 2nd walk in closet is on the back wall there. The 1st walk in closet is between the 2 vanities to the left of the picture.
OK, last one. Here is the courtyard. You have access from the family room and the formal dining room to get out here. It isn't a large area, but it will be perfect for a fire pit or a really pretty water feature. I haven't decided yet. Probably a fire pit since there will be a pretty large water feature in the backyard (the pool).
Well, that's the last of the model and I will only post pictures of my actual house from here on in. I do have the other 230 or so photos here if anyone is interested. :) I am picking out the granite tomorrow morning. Yea! I finally get to start picking things out. I was starting to think this day wasn't going to come.

I read your blog Heath! And this is the first comment I've made on anyone's blog in months so you should feel pretty special! Since I've already seen all 200+ pictures, I can attest that the house is going to be amazing.

Nate and I read your blog, too! And Jen, you better comment on mine soon or I might start to get a complex! :-) I LOVE the house, Heath. That circular entry to your bedroom is too cool... The tile in the bathroom is so pretty. I can't wait to see the house for real in a few months. Oh, and go for the fire pit, those are too fun. Just think all the trouble your boys could get into with a fire pit!
