And so it begins

We spent yesterday wandering around the Moncton Home show. For two solid hours we looked at windows and doors.   As soon as I spied this beauty I knew the search was over.   It is the Craftsman by Barrington,  which comes with a choice of  three different glass deigns and a dentil shelf.    The door is fibreglass as wood would be too difficult to maintain and prevent from bowing in our cold Maritime winters.  We are considering the same design for the interior transoms over the bedroom doors.   The Arts and Craft style has always been my favourite so this door is a perfect match.

While my DH and the glass company salesman went through the house plans, I just sat and stared lovingly at the door.    We will put our present home back on the market soon and keep our fingers crossed.  Meanwhile, slowly we are organizing everything so that the building of our new home can start the moment the old home is sold.    This is the first time I have been involved in building a home.  I find it a bit overwhelming, but the home show was a good chance to see what options are available.

Mike Holmes was the star attraction for many visitors.  I was surprised to see that the women were outnumbered 4 to one by men waiting in line for Mike`s autograph.  I walked past with just a glance, after all now I have to consider counter tops and cupboards.
