I looked at the date of our last blog entry and realize it's been a exactly a month since we've updated! How can that be??! Of course we've had a few other things keeping us busy along with the house - Katey & Greg's gorgeous wedding on 9/12 and our 4th anniversary on 9/4 just to name a couple. And then we do have Jake keeping us busy! Above he's enjoying the patio and the fact that he's 4 months old.
So what's been happening on the house project?? Lots of siding for one thing. Here's the (nearly) finished east wall of the master bath - all stained and ready for the shingles to be added.
All the sheetrock now has been taped, mudded, primed and textured. And the ceilings actually have their final paint color applied. It's hard to see in the picture, but there is a color on the ceiling - Palace White. This is taken from the east end of the living/dining space looking toward the door that goes out onto the covered patio. We've just about nailed down all the other color choices - NOT an easy task!
And this picture shows the back of the house (with Jake nearly getting into the picture in the lower left corner). Currently they are working on the garage and front of the house siding. Shingles will be next along with the last few doors and finishing up the window trims.
Inside, things are really shaping up. We've made the final selections on the wood trim for windows and the doors and are madly trying to finalize tile and counter selections and patterns. The cabinet and cupboard construction is underway and I think our next assignment (aka weekend homework!) are the inside door handles and all the various drawer and cupboard door pulls/handles. Yesterday Peter talked with the landscape architect about prepping for lawn. I guess if we can get it in by Halloween we'll have green grass in the spring! It's all getting very exciting watching the myriad of decisions we've made over the past 2 and a half years coming together to create our home!
