The hardwood floors are stained and finished - and currently they are all covered with cardboard for the remainder of the building process. This picture is of the 'mudroom'.
This shows the kitchen - we love how the floors turned out. The grain is gorgeous and we're pretty pleased with our choice of "Vermont Coffee Bean" stain! The wall is where the island will be.
Downstairs in the TV / theatre room. This little platform will house a few chairs (perfect for "loge seating" to watch a movie!)
Master bathroom - floor tile is laid. Jake is checking it out - mostly he liked when he could get ahold of the spacers to chew on!
This is taken in the downstair "hallway" - it's a lot of doors! A couple are storage areas and the mechanical room is to the far left. The door with the window is to the "wine room" - it's staying nice and cool in there - just as we'd hoped and just waiting for some wine to be moved in and stored.
This shot is out on the covered patio. The white rectangle is actually a radiant heating element which will allow for outdoor dining year round - or at least year round barbecuing out there! We have similar heating in the "casita" and it's pretty amazing how warm it is. . .
Siding is now about 99% done! Just a few little trim touch ups here and there and the front porch to finish. We're really happy with the cedar shake and cedar siding combination.
Also visible in between the two posts to the right is the copper rain chain (in lieu of a gutter right at the front door!) Another one of Peter's good choices. . . .
