Hardware

It’s been a bit busy and stressful this week.  The good news is our home in Marana, AZ sold.  The bad news is now it is time to start packing.  This week was spent trying to pack everything we could load into a 27 Foot Penske Truck that Andy then drove to TX.  After 13 hours on the road we arrived early Thursday morning (or late Wednesday night depending on your perspective).  We had not been to the job site in over 6 weeks and the progress was amazing.  It really is starting to look like a home.  After taking a day off, we unloaded our truck with help from the Penske movers (I highly recommend) and I was ready to engage again on the project.

The most exciting part of this trip was seeing all of the cabinets, first sitting in the middle of the floor, and then within 24 hours having them all set in place with the trim!  

The second exciting reveal was that our doors are in.  I am in love with the look of these 4 panel doors.

So what is next?  That is were the title for today’s blog comes in – – on to Hardware!  Almost 2 months ago I started researching both door and cabinet hardware.  Once our “style” was set I was able to work down to the specifics.  We have chosen Kwikset Smart Door Hardware for the front door of the main house as well as the guest house.  We are keeping things very simple with Vancouver and Halifax Levers.  Next was the cabinet hardware.  We wanted to make sure we had a cohesive look throughout.  Who knew there were so many options. The Hardware often serves as the icing on the cake. The Main House will come from The Hardware Hut and supply.com.  The Guest House is also from The Hardware Hut.  My favorite are the pulls for the kitchen and master bath.  Check out Colonial Bronze Solid Brass Knobs and Pulls from Hardware Hut. 

The Master Bath is coming from supply.com.  We are using the Brizo Invari Drawer Pulls in Luxe Gold. 

I will be on site this week meeting with the tile installer, granite fabricator and others.  Then back to AZ for the final pack and move.  Great progress is being made and we cannot wait until we can sit on our back porch and watch the deer and antelope play (well maybe sheep instead of antelope).  

Until next week….
