More Progress

Outside update - north side ipe up.

Back staircase complete.

Drywall on stair case almost finished.

Kitchen - east wall.

Girls Bathroom Floor

This may be my favorite spot in the house. The white sparkly floor went in the girls bathroom and looks fabulous. I can not wait for the cabinetry and the rest of the pieces to go in!

Stairs and Railings

What used to keep Matt up at night, and caused Molly to pull out some hair is now a beautiful piece of art in our home. The main staircase went in and it looks amazing. Step lights also went in. Now for the dry wall and the stain on the floor - and it all worked out perfectly!

I was skeptical about the glass railing, but I have to say it looks great.

I am taking volunteers to come clean the glass - and next step - can we say CHILD GATES please!!

Brick Wall

The brick wall by the fire place is almost complete. Where you see dry wall there will be three metal shelves "floating" out of the wall.

Kitchen Chaos

They started "building" our kitchen. This will be a miracle when they actually have this thing put together. It sort of looks like one crazy Ikea project.

Directions.

More pages of directions.

Appliances and drawers.

View from the living room.

North wall is making progress.

Awnings

The front awnings are almost finished. Dry wall was going up on Saturday.

Powder Room

The tile wall went up in the powder room. It looks AMAZING!!! Still needs the mortar, but you get the idea. What an impact!

Girls Bathroom

Tile is almost complete in the girls bathroom.

Backsplash behind the mirror and sink (there will be three skinny mirrors).

Close up of the bubble tile. LOVE it!

Tub surround pattern (thanks Molly!)
