    So my SO and I FINALLY closed on our very first house together. We decided to build after looking at multiple houses that just weren't "it". Enjoy the pictures ;) 

     

    The beginning stages:

    @candy11:  The foundation was poured on July 4th, and it was completed November 1st. So it took about 4 months :)

    @MommaJenn28:  I do want to custom build our house, but not our first one. We are not sure we will stay on it for very long. I do have lots of ideas though, but I want the one we custom build to be the home we will stay on for a very long time. Congratulations! Looks great.

    @candy11:  We built this house with the intention of it being our "forever" home. The master suite is downstairs, and the 3 other bedrooms are upstairs. So when we are older, the stairs won't be a hurdle. I would have liked to do more "custom", but at this point, I don't see much that I would have wanted to change. It exceeded our expectations, and it really is a joy being the first people to ever live in it. It was like our baby during the build process. It's like Christmas everyday!! Good luck to you in the future, and if you have any questions, let me know :)

    So I took a few pictures last night of the furnishings. I'm still not "loving" everything. I need to tweak and few things & take a few TON more trips to Ikea. (hehehe, I LOVE that store!!!!!)

    Here is our sectional/coffee table from the magical Ikea:

     

    And another view of where the tv went... (not loving this)

    And the master bedroom COMPLETE! I'm in LOOOOVE!

    Cute Christmas-y Entry Way

    Casual living room (right off front door)

    Seriously ADORE all the dark wood!

    Enjoy :)

    I love home building threads! Your house looks like it turned out very nice and I love that you have a double oven range! I want one so badly when my SO and I get a house.

    @MommaJenn28:  So you really like it then? I know some people say that they don't like that one oven is a bit on the smaller side with them. But I figure I could use the small one to keep things warm or bake pies in it and cookies.

    @Tarheelgurl:  Yea I love it! The top oven is small. The bottom one is standard size. I use the top one to warm things mostly.
