Victory

Our house 'came with' porcelain and plastic towel and paper holders.  Dale mentioned that he would be willing to hang stuff for us if we decided to buy our own instead of using the ones that they would 'give us'.   I definitely didn't want the plastic ones so we ended up purchasing our own.  The girls were with us the other day when we had to mark the walls so the guys would know where to hang everything.  Hannah was real interested in making decisions about 'her bathroom' and suggested that the toilet paper holder be installed on the vanity cabinet right next to the toilet.  Brian and I thought it should go on the wall in front of the toilet.  This is how it was at our old house and we didn't think that it made sense to put holes into the cabinet.

Hannah disagreed with us and left the house last night a little upset that she didn't get to make this decision.

We got an email this morning from Dale telling us that he suggests that we move the toilet paper holder in the kids bathroom.  He typically sees this installed next to the toilet on the cabinet and wondered if we mind if he overrode our decision.  Oh man!

This was Hannah's reaction when we came to the house tonight.  She was so happy and could NOT hold it in.  "Yes! Yes! Yes!  I knew it!  I told you that this was the best place.  I TOLD YOU!"

Nice to see she's a good sport....

The installed the shutters today too!  I absolutely LOVE how they look.  Since we did one color for most of the house, it breaks it up a bit.  The black and brown look great together.

We are getting so close!  Even though the house is pretty much ready, it's crazy to see just how much different stuff happens each day. Each day it looks more and more inviting and ready for us.
