house expansion

Another good news ... As I've blogged before, we are still in constant search for the owner of the lots beside our house. We are looking into possible house expansion for our lanai and garden for yeras now and the lot next to our house will be ideal for this. Initially, we plan to build one floor extension as an open space party area. If budget permits, we can probably probably extend it with 2nd floor and have a small studio-type room for my Mom. Or we can opt not to do any major construction, but do more of landscaping and set-up basketball area for hubby. Well, these are all still draft plans. Of course, these construction plans will materialize depending on our negotiations with the lot owners. Finally, we were able to locate the owners! That is the good news. The next step is convincing them to sell their lot to us. Hah, that is the challenge! And I am really excited to start the project. It will be house construction shopping again for me. From choosing tiles, bathroom fixtures, lighting fixtures , window selection, door panels etc. , it seems starting it all over again! Really excited and hopeful will get positive result.

check out the lighting fixtures I found on the net ... lovely oudoor lighting for lanai. The subdued lighting creates a very homey feeling. don't you think so?
