Good gosh this house project is going by more quickly than I thought it would! I feel like we just started and now it’s almost done! But in reality we started the whole process over a year ago. The actual “building the house” stage seems to be going the quickest. I’m planning a big post on the building process but in the meantime I thought I’d share some updates with all of you! We started with this…..
which turned in to this….
and now this!
The second picture is the only one I have that shows the whole house. It was really cold when I snapped this photo and I didn’t realize I didn’t include the left side. But you get the idea!
Our house in the woods is coming along nicely! Once things are done I’ll focus on the details, but for now here are some of my favorite spaces….
The kitchen. Oh how I love this kitchen. I can’t wait to start using it. That island is massive (8 feet and some change by 4 feet!). They actually made a mistake and ordered the a smaller countertop….and as soon as I saw it I knew right away it was wrong. It was just fixed this week and I’m swooning over it.
We have tons of counter space. I’m just in heaven. And here you can see some of the cabinet hardware being installed! This was taken by my husband yesterday….I still haven’t seen it in person yet.
This photo is a little older, but here’s a shot of the dining nook. The original plan called for the living room to flow into the dining area and then flow in to the kitchen….so basically one giant room. While I loved the open concept, I hated the thought of having to walk around my farmhouse table every time I went from the living room to the kitchen. So I had them bump this dining area off to the side. Best idea ever. I also had them vault the ceiling in the dining nook. On the right side of the dining nook is a sliding glass door to the deck.
The other side of the kitchen. That’s the pantry on the left. And yes….that’s a farmhouse sink in the island!
When you are at the island this is your view in to the living room. Right behind the built-ins and fireplace is the master bedroom, and to the right is the stairs, entryway, and office.
And here are the stairs….which, obviously.
Down that hallway is the office and then the entryway and front door.
Here’s the office door as viewed from the entry way. LOVE. We also added this entryway paneling after seeing how nice it looked in our mudroom. I’m obsessed. GIVE ME ALL THE PANELING.
And part of the mudroom (which is off of the kitchen and garage entrance). I can’t wait to get my hands on those cubbies. Storage is so important to me and this house totally reflects that!
Here’s a sneak peak of our double shower in the master bathroom. I’m loving the white subway tile with dark grout….because it looks cool! And will be easy to clean! And did I mention it looks cool? The floor is super dirty…but it looks cool too.
And there you have it. Stay tuned for more next week!
I am jealous. Love all of this.
Oh my gosh that kitchen is insane!!! It looks like something off of Fixer Upper which makes my heart swoon!!
Just gorgeous!
Love your kitchen so very much! I crave counter space with a passion – you can never have enough! Good choice on setting the dining nook off to the side. Our cottage home has the "one room" effect with every room kind of flowing through each other, and I would change it if I could. And girl. All the heart eyes for that mudroom. Love, love, love. Is it sad that the mudroom and dark grout made my heart so happy for you? Keeping things clean and organized is my jam!
Love!!! Thanks for the photo update. It's gorgeous and I love all of the colors you chose.
Soooo beautiful!!!! Seriously love all the details! How exciting and thanks for sharing!
love your kitchen and dining nook and storage cubbies! I'd like all of those in my house too….one day! Can't wait to see it all put together!

All the heart eyes!!! My husband and I are trying to decide if we should stay put or move. This totally gives me new house fever!
WOW, everything looks so great. The kitchen is exactly something I want in my home!
Love everything about it, but especially that dining nook and double headed shower!
This is gorgeous. I have dreams of a mud room
Gorgeous!!! So bright and white! I just love seeing the inside of houses and they always give me house envy (despite just moving into a new house last spring)!
What a beautiful home you've designed!! That kitchen is stunning and the counter space will be amazing. You've really got an eye for pretty things. Love all of your storage options, your thoughtful layout and attention to detail. Looks like move in day isn't too far off! Good luck with settling into this dreamy space 🙂
Love it all…it is going to be gorgeous! Bet you can't wait.
I'm swooning! It"s coming out insanely gorgeous and I love all of the fixtures you picked out already! Can't wait to see more
Love all the white!
I love the paneling! I plan on doing something similar in our mud room with the cubbies – love that so much. And wow, your kitchen is gorgeous! I love farmhouse sinks but couldn't get my husband to sign off on one. 🙂
Ohhh my word! It is SO beautiful!
Yay!!! Insert clapping hands emoji!! I'm loving the floors, wall colors and exterior color. Those lights on the garage…I'm swooning. And I will forever use dark grout in tile after my experience in our guest bathroom…..
Can't wait to see the rest!
I'm obsessed and jealous of everything! Especially the kitchen and all the built ins! I can't wait to see it all finished, I bet you can't either! Do you know when you'll be able to move in?
Im swooning, everything looks amazing! Love the subway tile with dark grout. And the paneling and mudroom cubbies! Cant wait to see it all decorated 🙂

So exciting! I bet you can't wait to move in!
This looks so dreamy!!! I'm excited for you! I would love to see a general floorpan. Those lights in the kitchen, swoon!
I'm excited for you!!! We would love to build someday! I love those kitchen lights!!! Do you have a post with the general floor plan? I love your style!
I've been MIA from reading blogs (and writing) so I am catching up and I didn't know you were building a house, but came across this post! How beautiful. I love it all! Congrats!
I love, love, LOVE your house! We are working on building our forever home and I absolutely love the look of your house. It is very similar to what we are going for as well. Would you be willing to share your floor plan? It would be much appreciated!
