The Final Product....

Here are a few... we are still buttoning up some details - screened porch, yard, and driveway... but the outside is finished and we moved in on Valentine's day.

counter tops and flooring

Well it is getting close and as I am writing this I have already moved in so I am working backwards. After a long discussion and much research about countertops we decided to go with granite. This decision was based more on economics than anything else as the recycled material tops that we found were both beautiful, exciting and a bit more expensive. As for the flooring we went with horizontal bamboo flooring... we have always loved this look and the idea of bamboo. Seeing them down was amazing. Both of these decisions were aided greatly by Mark and his colleages at Build it Naturally in Asheville. They have great knowlege and an amazing showroom in downtown Asheville. It is definetly worth the time to stop....
