I felt showered by love from family and friends and got such beautiful gifts and flowers (the way to my heart) and overall it was just a great day. Especially since the day before\u00a0 was pure mayhem,\u00a0 thankfully we had\/have extra elves working over time to be sure all orders shipped out right away! Today will be more of the same as we work hard to get all current orders out on their merry way.<\/p>\n

I was able to\u00a0 to take a quick trip to Palmetto Bluff last week with a few good friends.\u00a0 It was fun introducing them to\u00a0 my wonderful little happy place and seeing it all over again through their eyes, they loved it. I never ever get tired of going there and it was magical with all the beautiful Christmas decorations up!<\/p>\n

The progress as this stage of the game is getting really<\/em> exciting..by far the most fun! Lots going on, most of the cabinetry is done, confirmed all the stone for the counter tops which will be delivered in a few weeks, wood floors going in, etc…LOTS of good things happening. Took tons of pictures so here we go-<\/p>\n

Love the blue lacquered cabinets in the back kitchen\/pantry, can’t wait to see it with the stone and backsplash!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Wine rack cabinet had just come in (above)<\/p>\n

Bottom kitchen cabinets, wood floors being installed<\/p>\n

So in love with these Chippendale influenced cabinets<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

My bathroom….coming along just as I had envisioned!<\/p>\n

Stopped by the stone fabricator and feel so\u00a0 lucky to have found these beautiful slabs, it was also fun to get a crash course in how fabrication is done!<\/p>\n

The boys vanities, one pale gray, one navy and one soft white<\/p>\n

Back mudroom\/cubby<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Closets well underway<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A happy mess:)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Husbands bath cabinetry is a beautiful walnut color, now working on hardware<\/p>\n

So I pick a topic to talk about every time I do a post on PB and today is about stair railings….mostly iron is used down there though originally I had in mind wood,\u00a0 but since the iron is part of our contract, iron it is. I wanted to apply the same idea of a Chippendale inspired railing to the iron so the talented company they work with has come up with a few ideas.<\/p>\n

This was my beginning inspiration for the wood it’s a little busier but gorgeous and in wood might be too much with the floor to ceiling shiplac<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This was an iron railing the company we are working with did for someone else, it was not quite what I wanted but along the lines-<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I wanted something simplified with vertical slats in between and this is what they came up with,\u00a0 which I like quite a bit. I am seeing if they can possibly show me a version with a square center as well as another option-<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And I also thought this could be a pretty accent “square” between the vertical slats<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So really this is my long winded way to saying I am obsessing over these details and more confused than ever! Actually I am not really that confused, as I feel we are honing in on the perfect rail.\u00a0 I know I love this direction but also know I don’t want it to be too fussy and yet I love the detailing of a Chippendale influence. Doing it in wood would be a bit heavy with all the shiplac so the iron is a little lighter, I may not even do black but might do a softer black\/dark charcoal iron.<\/p>\n

This is a gray, its a little softer<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

__________<\/p>\n

This is a decision that has to be made almost right away as we are less than 2 months away from finishing up the house and we obviously cannot move in without stair railings! How about you? Do you have any say on the matter? Always love to hear your thoughts, thanks for stopping in and wishing you a great start to your week. Until next time…..<\/p>\n

Stay calm, try and enjoy the joys and wonder of this beautiful season, because before you know it it will all be over and you will start seeing Valentine’s Day cards and candies, lol.<\/p>\n
