Wow! Mike Shrader of Palladian Designs has done an amazing job with our space! Just imagine how super cool we felt, arriving to a meeting with both our contractor and designer (20 minutes late, by the way, due to faulty Google Map directions - not our fault, swear) with this beautiful drawing of our new home waiting for us! Okay, enough exclamation points - but tonight was quite the meeting. For the first time, we were able to see the preliminary designs for our new home. It was equally overwhelming as it was exciting (as blueprints don't quite do it for me like a magazine picture can) but we are still confident that we are headed in the right direction. Lots of slight changes to our original vision, but we are quick to let the experts mold our "vision" to their liking! For tonight - we are pumped and celebrating this "round one" with a few beers, a visit from the lovely Kelly Workinger, and "Glee"on Fox. The next few weeks will bring some hard numbers from the contractor, some info from the bank, a shopping day with the interior designer... and then maybe, just maybe, we will have some work underway by the new year! Stay tuned for updates!
