Most of our house comes “standard”. I do get to pick out a ton of things like all the colors, finishes, trim work etc... but doing extra fancy custom things isn’t really how the company works that is building our house. It’s not that I CAN’T add custom things, it just that’s not how they generally build their homes. (they are a spec home company that has a small custom home division)
Anyway, I have always known from day one that I had to have this feature in my new home. And it was worth “messing” up the smooth building process to get it there!
I called up a few local ironworkers, got some bids and met with the guy with the best price. He was SO fun to work with and did the entire custom iron piece for $365.00. It is huge and heavy! 3’wide by 4 1/2 ‘ tall.

I am really excited. It will be placed right as you walk into the house on the right hand side and you will be able to see through to the dining room.
It will go really well with this doorbell and chime set! It’s the little things that make a difference sometimes. (they weren’t very expensive and they sure beat that white tacky plastic box that is the standard they put in!)
Fun huh!!!!
Fun huh!!!!
Just because I was so blown away by how SIMPLE and EASY Erin from Lemon Tree Creations made this fabulous wall art I had to add it to this post.
All she did was get 4 pieces of board, laid down a cool designed rubber entry mat from Lowes over it and spray painted it all white! When she took off the mat this is what she got - BRILLIANT!!
