The exterior color

With much deliberation - we chose a color for the body of the house and it's been 90% painted. Take a look! Corbels, shutters and stone to follow. If you look carefully by the front stairs, you'll see the start of the stonework.

Enjoy!

Closer and closer - T minus 20

We are moving in on 12/23 and now everything is about getting to final inspection and getting enough done that we can move into the house comfortably. There are some big things still to do - the travertine for the breakfast bar and granite for the master vanity are both being fabricated right now while the new showers upstairs still do not have glass doors - could be pretty wet. The two new medicine cabinets have been framed and have to be finished.




But other things are coming along. The exterior, as you can see, has been primed and will be painted this weekend. The team has also completed the driveway and is pouring the garage slab on Monday. This will enable the garage door to be installed and the garage to be finished up - and we'll probably be able to secure the house. In addition, they've bought the cultured stone and it's been delivered so the stone will be installed early this week on the exterior and maybe even on the mantle.




The kitchen is fully installed (other than the previously mentioned breakfast bar) and has a very interesting stove (we hope you like it, we do) with a fully operational and silenced hood exhaust. We also installed two mini-pendants over the breakfast bar, but they are a little low right now. We've also got a bunch of the beams installed upstairs and they're looking sufficiently farmhouse while they aren't yet stained. And check out the red bathroom - that's the downstairs bathroom that guests and the kids will use.



Stay tuned...
