I've decided to post about all of the interior/exterior windows and doors in a separate post. Mainly because there are tons of pictures to post. I must give credit to Ricky Earnhardt(Wes's little brother) our framer and his workers for the wonderful work they've done. Rick did a fabulous job with everything but I especially like the designs he did with the fireplace and staircase. It's gonna look so good!

A view of the breakfast area from the outside and inside. The windows we chose are Atrium 450 Series double-hung, Prairie style. We chose these because they were unlike most windows we've seen.

The great room (I'm calling it the living room or den) windows. These probably won't have any blinds or shades on them. One of the workers said they look like eyes.


Front door from outside and inside. It will be stained to match the brick which we've ordered from Statesville Brick. http://www.statesvillebrick.com/ The style/color is Walnut Creek.

Doors and windows in living room leading out to and overlooking the screened in porch


View of the front and the garage side

Completely dried in

Picture of the fireplace(gas log insert). There will be a mantle and about a foot above the mantle we will have a flat screen wall mount t.v. Our 65" t.v. is perfectly brand new and fine, but there isn't a wall available in the living room to sit it on(it isn't a flat screen). We will put the big screen in the bonus room or the "man cave" as Michael so fondly refers to it. The part that goes up as if there was a chimney there will most likely be pressed on stone or some kind of tile.


The beginning of the staircase. I love the way it curves!
