I swore up and down that I would blog every day. I haven't. I'll try again.
Status of The House: We're waiting for the builder to finish his final cost estimate, which then goes to the bank where they have some appraiser recreate the wheel. The theory is that the construction loan will be approved and ground will be broken at the end of April. In the meantime, I've continued to shop. Although generally, the architect and I have actually reached the point where we can't move forward until the cost estimate is finalized since the next step is to make specific choices re: things like light fixtures.
My recent purchases were from Pacific Kitchen and Bath's annual spring parking lot sale: a Native Trails round copper prep sink for the kitchen island, and a faucet for the upstairs bath. Saved significant money this way. In addition, the punched tin pieces made by Marian Moore in Taos have arrived: 2 large sconces for the great room, 2 more (custom designed for us!) for the master bedroom, and a cat door surround that will go on the wall between the back hallway and the laundry room. (We may have her make some additional sconces for the foyer.)
What I accomplished yesterday: Finally finished filling up a new address book. The old one was shot, but getting all the current info into a new one took F-o-r-e-v-e-r! AND, the info is all in my computer. Phew!
What I accomplished today: Did ALL the laundry, totally caught up with ironing, and "installed" fresh sheets and towels. Don't have to do THAT odious chore for awhile.
