Getting closer

It's been a while, I know. The house is 3-4 wks from being ready to move into - YAY!!! The painters are in! Only two rooms wallpapered; Sunroom and Master bedroom.

Sunroom

On the outside, the pillars of the porch are being built and will be painted some dark colour to go with the house.

We've started on the shingles in the peaks, so that's still remains and next week, I'm meeting with the landscaping to go over my design for the gardens beds etc. Oh, can't wait to see green grass!!!


Meanwhile, getting quotes for this (SWOON!):

Living Room and Dining Room Panelling

Project speeding up. Which tile? Which floor stain? Which Crown Molding? Paint colour? Which trim? As much as you preplan this, changes happen. Cost. Availability. Etc. The etc, happens a lot! Now we're talking panelling in the Living Room and Dining room. I found this a year ago and kept it for inspiration since.

Ooops ..forgot where I got this.

Help!

MDF or WOOD? This is my biggest question these days. From my research, MDF is quite strong with the laminate finish. Wood is sharp in it's edges but can chip. The profile I've picked closest resemble the first photo with modern simple stainless steel handles - MDF. Am I making a mistake????
