Goodness. Life has been busy lately. I just finished two weddings and two engagement sessions in one weekend and while I’m not incredibly exhausted, my brain is exhausted thinking about everything that’s coming up next. I only have two weddings left for the season (yay!), but a ton of fall portrait sessions remain, as well as lots of HOUSE PROGRESS! Even though I’m excited to shoot in the beautiful colors of fall and meet new clients, I think I’m most excited about getting our house finished and officially moving in! Brian has been spending lots of time at the house lately (thanks, honey!) and he says there are still a million things left to do, but I can’t let that stand in the way of my excitement!

The most recent progress took place on the first floor. Brian and his friend have been installing our hardwood floors and our kitchen cabinets and appliances were installed last week! It’s so cool to finally see results from some of the big decisions we made…like the kitchen! Getting the right combo of hardwood floors and cabinets was very important to us. We wanted rustic and different, but not over the top…and I think we achieved that…especially with my red island. 🙂 I cannot wait to just cook and hang out in this space…

I think the red looks best from this angle. 🙂

 And now for the red door! It’s not completely finished, but I love seeing some color on the front of the house! And my bug is always a nice addition to the pictures, too. 🙂

Here’s the JFP office! A work-in-progress indeed…

Brian was a sweetheart and ordered my first-choice doors. They weren’t his first choice, but he compromised and I’m so glad he did! I think they add some character…

There’s still lots of work to be done…siding has to be put on, stair railing needs installed, carpet is coming next week…and we need to clean everything!

But the hard work over the next few weeks is definitely going to be worth living here…

Let the move-out, move-in crazy-ness begin! We’re almost there!!!
