We are slowly ticking through our forever farmhouse checklist over here. Please pay attention to those columns on the front porch. Don’t they look so much better than those 2×4’s from the last farmhouse update? We also installed our lantern lights there by the front door and one more by the side door.
Our porch ceilings make me so happy. The front porch is covered in blue slated vinyl. The back porch is covered with corrugated metal. I love how the different materials/colors add interest to our outdoor living spaces, where I am sure we will spend 90 precent of our time!
Our exterior lights are all installed–LED canlights, two outdoor ceiling fans, and the lanterns by the doors. The HVAC is connected, so now we can heat (or cool) the house while we are painting.
Our sheetrock is complete and after several nights of Justin and my dad coming in looking like ghosts (from all the sheetrock dust), the house is finally clean enough to start painting! They actually started the primer on the ceilings a bit last night, but they will do more paint this weekend. We are also planning to start the tile in our shower and bathrooms this weekend. (And by we, I mean Justin.)
We are aiming for an early March move-in date, so fingers crossed everything works out and we can make that!

You will love those LED lights.
I already love them so very much! They put off so much light. Our front yard looks like a runway thanks to the LED’s on the porch!
Looks amazing! !!
Thank you so much, Hollie!
