At 5290: Final Stretch, Part 2 - November 2018

Our first home: 5290 Project

We're down to TWO months before closing. 

A LOT has been happening in this final stretch, which warrants two, separate posts, as we finish up this 5290 Project by December 2018.

Here is our November 2018:

• Back door built-in closet nook
• MASTER BEDROOM has closets
• Wardrobe lighting
• Fan
• New front door
• Kitchen deco lighting
• A couch, a TV, a chandelier ... oh MY!

Back door built-in closet nook

Sam's ingenious design for extra closet and storage space for the back entryway! 

We MOVE IN to the Master Bedroom!

Sam installed these gorgeous closets in the master bedroom, and set up the bed. 

We have a new bedroom!

 

Added wardrobe lighting to the closets:

And, a fan!

 

New front door

Deco lighting in bar and kitchen

Watchin the Vikings game on our new TV :) Big W over the Packers!

A light above our dining table:

That's all for now :)

Plenty more items on the 5290 Project Checklist, but we're at the end of our construction loan timeline.

I am unbelievably impressed and humbled by Sam's work, capabilities, patience and craftsmanship. Thank you for creating this beautiful home for us, Sam. You amaze me.

Thank you to the many, many people who helped us with this home: our parents, siblings, old and new friends. Your support is so appreciated!
