It's Gettin' Real!

The house looks like a real house already.  We even have a front door and windows.  Unfortunately, they couldn't get the roof all papered before the snow hit last night, so our bedroom floor is a bit wet and frozen right now.  Hopefully, there won't be any long term effects.  Our PM told us that the brick should be on in a week and a half and that we'll be scheduling the pre-drywall meeting soon!  Holy smokes!  We're rollin!

    The house looks great! I love all of the windows! Although, I loved all of my windows too until I started shopping for curtains! =)

    LMAO! You threw 'Clark' in there! That's what I call my husband... Oh Christmas is my favorite time of the year... We were in Lowes and ol Clark needed a staple gun for his Christmas lights... I was laughing so hard through the store I was in tears.
    He dressed like Uncle Eddie for a Christmas party, black dickie under a white sweater, it was hilarious!

    Oh and your house is starting to look like a house! And I agree with M... Windows are EXPENSIVE to cover! Good grief, I'm not sure how people can afford all of this stuff!

    I am terrified about the window coverings. Stevesblinds.com seems to be a good inexpensive choice...

    I checked out that website - thank you Elise for the suggestion!

    I priced everything out last night and JC Penny's has really good prices - they seem significantly lower than Steves based on our window sizes and what I am looking for. I want the 2" wood blinds and some roman shades. I just can't seem to decide on what colors I want.

    We have almond trim on the outside, but I really want white blinds, I just don't know if that will look ok, or if I should get dark wood blinds... it's enough to get me in a tizzy! LOL

      A day or two after we moved in we had a flyer from Budget Blinds left on the door. They are offering 30% off, but the catch is that you have to buy during the initial quote to get the discount. I'm not sure I am ready to foot the bill for the morning room window treatments (probably cellular shades) just yet though so I haven't contacted them about pricing.

      I will have to check out JCPenny and Budget Blinds. I am willing to check out anything to get a good price! Thanks for the suggestions. Thinking of measuring the windows today to get a jump start :-)
