Top 12 Things I Still Love About Our Home

​1. Two dishwashers flanking our kitchen sink. It's a game changer when we have people over. Otherwise we switch each day. And the Shaw curved sink still makes me happy. 

2. Wiring every room with speaker wire. We have multiple "zones" for Sonos and enjoy having good sounding music in our main area, dining room, powder bath, porch, office and our bedroom/bathroom/shower. We don't have Sonos speakers, we have more boom boom ones ha. Eventually we will put speakers in the kids room when they are ready.

3. Our cabinets - best vendor we had building our home. Eudy's Cabinets

4. My getting ready area - it's just outside of our shower/bathroom and on the same side as my closet and the rest of the house so if Kevin's in the bathroom I can still get ready and off I go.

5. A storage area within a garage. We made one garage extra deep and built a wall so we have an area back there for yard stuff. 

6. Lighting - I still love every single light I picked out for this house back in 2017. 

7. Mudroom - my friend Lisa told me to do a "command center" for my junk with a charging station. It's so wonderful. It's standing height so I can stand in there at counter height and operate.  

8. Second set of washer and dryer in the mudroom. We use them so much - pool towels, dog towels, muddy baseball clothes, car wash towels and so on. PS - do you like how they're labeled? My mom couldn't figure out which was which many years ago so I labeled them for her!

9. Soooo many electrical outlets. And if they're on a wall in the vanity, they're not centered which would be behind a hand towel, they're moved forward to be easily accessible. 

10. Walk in attic space - a game changer. 

11. I like how none of our rooms other than the gym have those angled ceilings. We were particular that we didn't want those. Oh and the other wild thing - we did not want columns in our main room / kitchen so we have metal beams built into the wall to span the wide openings. 

12. Our porch - it is PERFECT in every way because it's 21'x26' and we have a gas starter real wood burning fireplace. We love it and spend so much time out there. 

Things I wish we had done -

Electrical outlets below each window for Christmas lights. More outlets in closets (not required for code but need for steaming or vacuuming). Can lights in kids and guest rooms.
