Carpet.. I would like you to meet.. House

YES!!! So they didn't come yesterday but that wasn't a surprise to us but bright and early this morning and late tonight the job was done and looks amazing. I was super nervous that the carpet wouldn't look very good with everything but it pulls everything together! I love the colors and Eric does too. I know pictures don't really do justice but here are some tonight and then I will take some tomorrow in the sunlight. I have two colors Black Pearl - the main run and in the Master, Morning Mist - Two bedrooms and then a remnant that we found for the Mountain Room. The colors are perfect because they have three color tones entwined that work perfectly!! Exactly what I wanted, just some light color that speckled through.

CARPET TOMORROW!!!

Yes I said it, Carpet tomorrow, was supposed to be today but we figured as much and we even listened to their excuses and politely said that we could wait another day. :) BUT I REALLY CAN'T WAIT!!!! I am super excited and very nervous to see what it looks like in the house and how it is all going to come together. As for everything else things have been flying by and we are hoping to close our loan in a couple of weeks and my sister Christine comes home Dec 4th!!!! I can't believe that that day is already here!!!

We have finished welding our stair railing and it has turned out pretty neat!!! We both agree that it could probably hold an elephant in but it will hold up to anything.!!!! Eric has done so much on it and yes... even I welded on it :) Pictures to prove it!!! I have that best teacher!!!! and I didn't just weld a little either for the record!!! :)

 We also put in all our light fixtures and our "castle" chandelier in the entryway. I love all the chandeliers that we chose and it really has made our house come together. Thanksgiving came and went and we ate to much as usual but it was to die for and I decided to help out a little so I made some turkey. Turkey cookies that is....and as everyone in the world is getting a jump start on Christmas, I couldn't find any normal candy corn so they became Hybrid Christmas turkeys. ( I couldn't figure out why the picture turned, sorry that's not how I loaded them on the blog)

before and after...

So we still are just chuggin along with the little things. This weekend I am headed to pick out lighting for the inside and I feel pretty confident but as soon as I start looking at lights over and over on the Internet, everything begins to look the same.... I know that I will find something that will work and that we like.

Last week I finished sealing the fireplace and we will put the pellet stove on it this weekend so that we can get some heat in the house when we are working. These Wyoming days you never know what kind of weather you will get. But the slate tile I love and it has a gray silver shimmer to it and then when I sealed it, the color got darker but it is still pretty.
