Closets are in

I said we were doing basic closets, using white wire systems. They're nothing fancy, but they'll definitely do the job in providing plenty of space for us to store hanging and folded clothing. We can always upgrade in the future. You see, while we love a gorgeous walk-in closet as much as the next person, it just wasn't high on our priority list. Here's a glimpse of one wall in my closet (for shoes and flat storage):

And of course we have walls for hanging clothes. I'll post more pictures of our closets in Interiors later this week.

The staircases have their first coat of paint. We thought you'd love to see a before and after of the back staircase:

"Replace me please!"

Well hello there...

In other news, our front door came in! Right now it's propped up in our kitchen, waiting to be stained and installed. We also chose our shower door, and went with one that slides instead of swings given our layout.  And we discovered that we forgot to choose a countertop for the tiny counter in our laundry room. Hopefully we'll get that sorted out tomorrow.

While we have a few minor selections still to make (like door knobs), our last major decision - the carpeting - has yet to be made. Not much time left to make it...
