Finishes Part II

More photos from our meeting this morning.  The interior in the old part of the house has now been painted.  All the tile has been grouted and part of the kitchen cabinets are in.  The countertop folks came by yesterday to measure so they can start fabrication.


Looking into the new entry way from the outside, standing on the new side porch.

Old dining room, painted new!

Laundry room with grouted tile-trim is next.

Looking into the kitchen from the entry hallway.  That's the island on the left.  You can see the new wall for the bar overhang peaking out the top.

Another shot of the dining room looking through to the old living room.

Newly grouted kitchen tile.

The wall cabinets have not yet been installed.  This is looking from the family room into the kitchen at the back of the island.  That's the wall to support the overhang.

Our old bedroom/new guest bedroom/study with new drywall and new paint.

Another shot of the awesome dining room color (can you tell it's my favorite?)

Closer up shot of the old living room, with new paint.

Another shot of the kitchen. I'm  standing next to the island, with my back to the pantry.

Finishes Part I

The house is really starting to come together.  We have new front doors on the old and new porches.  Tile in the kitchen and bathrooms and newly painted walls (which are still being touched-up in the photos below).  

Cabinets will go in by early next week and the siding should be up by the end of the week.  Will we actually be in the house by Halloween?  Free candy for everyone if we are!

Trim and Interior Doors

We're moving along nicely now.  Just a couple pictures from the iphone until I have a chance to download photos from the better camera.

Tile is being installed this week.  Painting and cabinet installation will be ongoing next week as will siding!


Closet doors in the kids' bedrooms.  All of the interior doors are this paneled style and will be painted white.


Trim on bedroom windows.  We were going for a simple craftsman style.  I think they did a great job!

Drywall and Sofa

Mostly pictures for this post.  We finally have finished drywall in the house.  All the walls have now been primed and it's really starting to look like a place we could live in!  Next up will be the paint, trim, and doors.  Oh, and we finally bought a piece of grown-up furniture, not even from a yard sale, but from a real furniture store (that isn't IKEA).

Kitchen-the fridge will go along that wall on the left.  The island will be where that big box is currently being stored. 


Family room-the entertainment center will go under those two small windows.  Anybody know where we can find another Ikea Norrebo Storage Bench?  They've discontinued them and we'd really like another to match our set.


Master bedroom- The bed will be centered under those three small windows.


My closet on the left.  The master bath entrance on the right.



Shower in the master bath.


The new sofa.  Jody is very excited about the chaise lounger on the left.


This is the fabric we're getting on the three larger pillows, instead of the orange stripes.
