It’s only fitting that we got the final inspection certificate on the Monday after Thanksgiving. That’s the day the fire came 2 years ago. We fudged a little. We “squatted” with an air mattress for a few days until the furniture came on November 12. (I was determined to have Thanksgiving on the mountain!) The kids were a great help with opening boxes and helping me get everything situated.
I had pretty much everything you need to set up housekeeping since I had over 16 months to buy stuff! I learned all about apps like Ebates and Shopular that kept me informed about sales at all my favorite stores. I had been gathering goodies for so long that finally opening the boxes was like going on a Treasure Hunt!
Dishes are located right beside the dish washer.
Trays, bakeware, and cutting boards are all neatly stacked over the oven.
On top of that, I have a huge pantry for food storage.
There’s much more in the kitchen, but it’s time to move on. There’s more to see.
Upstairs Bedroom Suites
I must say those king sized beds sleep a lot better than the air mattress!

One of the biggest tasks is setting up the kitchen, but as you can see, I had good help and we got everything washed and stored. The architect and I put a lot of thought into planning the kitchen and I love, love, love the results! It’s a pleasure to cook in this kitchen. (Did I really just say that??) It’s huge! There’s plenty of room for everything. In fact I have cabinets and drawers that are still empty.

This is a MOUNTAIN house so Black Forest Decor quickly became one of my favorite websites. That’s where I got my bedding.
The Master Suite
We really like our great big walk-in showers. During the build, when I wanted to find a quiet spot, I would go sit on the bench in the shower. I called it “my office”.

Of course, our favorite spot is in the Great Room where we gather as a family to watch a movie, work a puzzle, check out the latest football/basketball/soccer/hockey game on the tv or just sit by the fire.
That covers the top two floors. There’s a basement, but we’ll finish that later. (Someday) It will have a game room, a 4th bedroom suite/office, a wet bar, a fitness room, and a media center.
And then there’s the deck space........

Needless to say, we are enjoying our new home. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving here and look forward to our first Christmas at the new and improved Smoky Pointe.
