From the ground up: The Makings of the New House...
(view of part of the backyard from the sunroom)
Thank you for your lovely words of encouragement yesterday. I am exhausted and very excited at the same time. These are some pictures of the house. It's cocooned in a cul de sac with a wonderful backyard-the perfect place for Baby Z to grow up. The construction has progressed much farther along(than shown in these pics), but i wanted you to see it from the beginning. I will be showing you more and sharing an update about my color choices, etc. in the coming days.
I hope your Thursday will be a splendid one! I will be visiting you all shortly and a warm welcome to my new readers! XX

stacey!!! I have missed you too, so much! It was so crazy to step back from blogging and to realize how much I missed it. I had a great trip home and got to spend time with so many people - it was great...but I'm excited to get back to my routine here! Thanks for your note just now though...and wow...just caught up on some of your posts - can't believe all the change...your new house looks incredible!! I am so looking forward to seeing more pictures of it and how you decorate (because lets be honest you have the best home decor site ever ;)) no pressure or anything, haha!! You will be moved in before you know it I'm sure. Happy 2011!!!
WOW! What a place - can't wait to see more!

The fun thing about buying a new house is all the great decorating you eventually can do...
Have a great day;:)
In love with you new home, can't wait to see more and so very excited for you and your family!
Oh Stacey. Wow.

Wow! The house looks amazing!!! You must be getting so excited! I can't wait to see more pictures.
Really happy for you! I remember those days :) We've built once (with our 1st born and it was completed when he was 18 months). More recently we have bought and updated. They are both unique and rewarding processes!! It will surely be a place of love and that's what is beautiful. XO, Kelly
Oh Stacey- it's going to be so so gorgeous. I can't wait to see it come together! xo
I'm giddy for you. I remember when our house looked like this and I was having so much fun planning how it would look in the end. Can't wait to follow along.

Wow Stacey, this is a serious house! Looks great already, have fun with the interior process,

Good gracious - you don't muck around do you? Out with the old, in with the new - all at break-neck speed! Looking fab so far - I am sure it will be drenched with fab Stacey colour once the paint cans come out. Although, I could see those windows fluttering with richly-coloured Indian silk swathes of sumptuous luminance in saffrons, tangerines and cool blues...
Absolutely gorgeous house! Looking forward to seeing more photos.
OMG.. is that your house or heaven?
I love the design and the huge space you have.

What a lovely house! I'm pretty sure you'd be a success at making it a beautiful home! I can't wait to see how it all turns out. Have a gorgeous weekend, Kellie xx
Ahhh, all fresh and new. Nothing like it. Seeing it in this stage I can tell it's going to be a fabulous house. Congratulations again.
So exciting! But, of course, what I'm really looking forward to is seeing how you decorate the interior. I can't even imagine how fabulous it will be.
You must be so excited about your new home Stacey, can't wait to see what colors you choose.
You arise beauteous in the horizon of the heavens
Oh living Aten who creates life.
When you shine forth in the Eastern horizon you fill every land with your beauty.
You are so beautiful: you are great; gleaming and high over every land.
Your rays embrace the lands and all you have created;
You are Re and reach out to all your creations, and hold them for your beloved Son.
You are afar, but your rays touch the earth;
Men see you, but know not your ways.
Thanks, sugar!
Hello and Happy 2011!!
I am just back from our holiday in stunning Shoal Bay and haven't really jumped back into blogging just yet, but wanted to pop in and say 'hi'! xx
Hope your Xmas was OK in the end. I know you spent it in your interim place, surrounded by boxes.
Ours was quiet and relaxed - nothing major this year which was nice. Then we headed off to the holiday house and have had the most amazing ten days away. Will do a 'holiday update post' soon, but need this week to get on top of life back here first.
Your house looks great. Love the lines and the energy in the interior pictures. Can't wait to see it unfold. Best of luck with it all! xx
Big hugs to you and your boys!
xx Charlotta xx
What a beautiful home! I love new homes like this and the clean slate to decorate with!
Congrats Stace!!! It is beautiful and I know it's going to be just stunning when it's all done :-)
look at all those windows!! it's going to be so beautiful!
What an amazing experience! I love to see my home being built from the ground up. Best of luck to you on this amazing project!
Congratulations and what fun. Thank you for being so generous
Congrats - this looks incredible! Can't wait to see the rest of the progress :)
