This is a fun way to see the progress of the house...

Who's our Mercer Island, WA blog watcher?

After turning the blog to a an invited-only reader list....I'm stumped by the Mercer Island reader that appears to be on our blog daily...sometimes more than once a day.  I'd love it if you'd identify yourself since I can't seem to figure out who you could possibly be.  I'll be anxiously awaiting a comment to see who you are...

Selections

We have several meetings where we have to pick out everything from carpet to tile, bath fixtures to the front door.  We have completed 2 meetings where we have picked out a bunch of things, our latest meeting was on Friday where we picked paint color, carpet color, hardwoods, cabinets, tile colors for floors in all the bathrooms, etc.  I only took one photo....here are the color of our kitchen cabinets, the hardwood flooring & the slab granite countertops we picked out:

from top to bottom: cabinet color, hardwood flooring, slab granite for kitchen
