Final Walk-Thru at Brookshire


We did our final official walk-through at Brookshire today. We were surprised to find a white kitchen sink. It was never presented as an upgrade option, but we just sorta figured it'd be stainless with the stainless kitchen package. Not so. Upgrading to the SS sink is an additional $1,150, so I think we're going to make do with white for now and change it later ourselves. Cheaper, plus I can pick what kind of sink I want, rather than accepting the single model the design center makes available (a 50/50 split one, which isn't my favorite anyway). Other than that, we LOVE how the tile, granite and cabinets flow together, and the "rain" glass in the doors is really pretty. Now we just have to decide what to put up there that looks nice ... boxes of Rice-a-Roni and cans of Vegeburger just don't seem like display items.

So that's it. We pick up the keys Wednesday. Gosh, it's been forever, and yet it went by so fast. Weird. Just like life. We were planning to paint this weekend before we move in, but because there are a lot of drywall things that have to be fixed, we need to hold off on painting til they're done. That could take up to 30 days. So, we'll finish packing this week and plan to have the movers come either Sunday, Monday or Tuesday next week. Our friend Chad is going to go in with us for the move since he lives close to us and is in the unit below at Brookshire. Convenient. It won't be a 50/50 split because he has less stuff, but every bit helps (both of us!).

I love it too! Great color and pattern choices. And I love the 'rain' glass in the cabinet doors. Gives me ideas for our house. :)

Congratulations on closing and good luck moving!
