The below photos are of the home we built in Graham. We moved in on 25 March 2005. We have 10' ceilings and 8' solid core doors, with over-sized crown molding and baseboards throughout the 2,900+ sq ft home (3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, large clothing, linen and storage closets, office, great room, laundry room, and family room). The entire exterior, front steps, and fireplace are of Austin Stone. We decided on stained cement flooring in all except two bedrooms and the 'Piano Bar' (Family room) where we put wall-to-wall carpeting. We have three granite vanities (separate dressing areas in the master bath) and kitchen surfaces, and copper vanity sinks and mirror frames, walk-in showers and no bathtubs, deep kitchen sinks, a convection/mircowave oven, and gas appliances with an island cook-top and a telescoping downdraft. We put tubular skylights in the living room and the guest bath. In short, we built the home of our dreams, in a small town that we just love. We are home. |

One day the landscaping will grow more...all native landscaping (prairie grasses, lantana, sage, cacti,
etc.). Right now, all you can really see are the few trees and rocks we were able to salvage. 06/2007
