Congratulations on a beautiful home! Everything looks just amazing. I love the deep, rich colors that you've used, arkansasgal. I want to see even more! :O)

Can I ask for more details? Where did you find your bathroom vanity? What brand is your double sided fireplace? What granite is in your kitchen? And lastly, how many inches is the crown molding in the photo with the entryway (I think?) chandelier? Is that 8 inch molding? It looks perfect!

What a great house. I wish you much joy in your new home. It looks like a warm, happy, lovely home for your family. All the best to you! And happy shopping! :o)

WOW! What a gorgeous home! I just love all the arches and molding! And the ceilings....very nice! Beautiful color choices too! You did a great job!

Congratulations fellow builder!

I haven't been around for the building part of it but the completed project is Fabulous! Wonderful job! It's beautiful!

Very nicely done! Love the trim work, the arches, your colors, that granite!! On and on. Congratulations on a job well done, beautiful home.

Wow, congratulations on your stunning home! Everything was very obviously well thought out, and it shows. Enjoy!!

You all have me in tears, thank you so much. It really did pay off with us doing it ourselves and with my husband and I both being indecisive it was a looooong journey. I second guessed myself on EVERYTHING so to get confirmation from you all is very heartwarming.

Totallyblessed, so are we :)
We got the vanity off of ebay, we were very surprised at how nice and heavy it was and great quality and easy assembly. I believe the double sided fireplace is heatilator. The granite in the kitchen and MBA is called Mascarello, the grown is a what they call a 3 step crown I do believe and I think its 11 3/4"

Again thank you all!! I will still come here multiple times per day, it has become a part of my daily routine for the last 6 months, I cant just stop cold turkey ;-)

Just beautiful!! I love your kitchen cabinets - what color/finish are they, and who is the maker? Congrats on a job well done!! May you have many happy years in your new beautiful house!!

I can't add to what's already been said. It's a perfect example of how you can put EVERYTHING and more into a well-planned home!

Do appreciate your photos documenting the building process. Very helpful to those of us who haven't started yet.

Hope you'll stay around and help me. I have the same backyard "view" as you: looking into the trees. Very nice, but we're still trying to figure out how to create a focal point (and still scared of going to the Landscaping forum here!)

Enjoy many happy years in a delightful home!

Very nice! Congrats!

Just gorgeous! I love all the crown molding and wood work throughout the house. I love love love the multi-tray ceilings. The hall sconce is sharp. Can you tell me more about it as I'm in my quest for several sconces?

Congrats on your new home!

Just beautiful!! I love your choices of colors! Love the dining room!

Hi fellow Arkansan!

Your house is just beautiful! LOVED looking through your photos!

Wishing you many happy memories in your new home!

That is pretty! Congrats & job well done!

Your home is beautiful! I love all the colors. Everything is just wonderful! Great job :-)

beautiful triple crown trim (or whatever it's called)! I had 2 co-workers gathered around me, and we were all admiring your home! Congratulations!

Hey arkansasgal,

I hope you don't mind if we copy your front elevation. Your front elevation depicts exactly what we want ours to look like. Do you have a "direct" front view of the house?

Thanks so much for sharing the names and info. I am loving that crown so much.... I just might have to "copy". ;o)

So, are you pinching yourself each morning when you wake up? :o)

Your home is beautiful. I Love the entry way with all the arches and your chandelier. You have a great design. Post more pictures when you are done decorating!

It's beautiful...congratulations!

FYI...I can't believe that someone asked if they could copy your front elevation! And, that is why you will never see a full picture of my house on this site...

You're home is gorgeous! Congratulations! May I ask what color your living room is? THANKS!

You are ALL so kind. Thank you VERY much!

pghsteelerfan, the stain color I will have to look at the can but I can tell you the maker is Sherwin Williams.

jgirl_2007, the wall sconce is manufactured by Minka-Lavery, they have some wonderful pieces.

Thank you all so much and I will definitely be around....

Guess what?! I was on a website for bathroom vanities (fast and furiously trying to determine if I'd rather purchase premade vanities or go with the cabinetmaker making our various vanities.... gotta know in the next week or so).

Anyhoo, I saw your gorgeous vanity on there! It's so beautiful..... excellent choice. I was thinking of it for our powder, but it's larger than I'm looking for in that space. I did find a small one that I'm really liking, so I think I found the one we'll go with.

Just wanted to thank you for sharing your sources and names. That is sweet of you, and what I appreciate so much about this forum.... a great place to glean ideas and share info. about home building and the gazillion choices that each of us ends up making.

So while I'm going with something else in the end, I appreciate you being willing to share.

Is this your first weekend in the house? Hope you get to sleep in AND enjoy your beautiful home. Maybe you'll even be served breakfast in bed........ !! Hey.... a girl can always dream. :o)

it's just beautiful! great job!

What an absolutely gorgeous house! I love all your molding, particularly the great columns and the arched mantels over the windows. I love how you've used color, and those triple tray ceilings are fantastic. What's the total height of your ceiling?

Congratulations!

WOW!!! Ican't get my chin off the floor:-) I LOVE LOVE LOVE your new home! You must be so proud! Great choices. It all came together so nicely. All that stressing for nothing! I think I speak for us all. You have an absolutly beautiful HOME!
Doing a happy dance for you!

Congratulations on your new home. I know what a sense of satisfaction and relief you must feel. Can't wait for that feeling myself next year. LOL

Congrats to you on an absolutely stunning home!!!

Congratulations, it must be so exciting to walk in and see your beautiful home everyday!

Wow... It is just beautiful. I think the front entrance is amazing. Really enjoyed your pix. Thanks for sharing.

Wow wow wow-it looks great-congrats and sit back and enjoy!

I love you all for your kindness!! It is definitely becoming a reality being there everyday. Sadly enough we have yet to unpack and put everything away, mostly clothes CLOTHES CLOTHES goodness, who knew I bought my kids so many clothes and toys!!! My DH keeps telling me to relax we'll get it done but of course I have OCD!! :)

We havent even put tp holders, towel racks, mirrors or robe hooks up yet :(. But my DH did get the last blind put in this past weekend so I guess I will cut him some slack..

I think my ceiling heights range from 10-13 feet throughout the house.

Everyone enjoy and just know that some how, some way through all the stressfull, emotional roller coaster filled days, that in the end, you will look back and smile as if those days were distant memories.

Good luck!!!

Congratulations! I really like your arches! Would you please tell me how thick the arch part is on the inside toward the top? Does that make sense? ;-) Hmmm... Looking at the arch, from front to back on the inside top. 8"? 10"? Thanks. Hope you're settling in and really enjoying your new place!
