More and more progress!

Seems like things are moving pretty quick now. Or maybe its just that its starting to look like a real house again. Either way, I'm a happy girl (most of the time).

Here are a few pictures of the progress that occurred last week and over the weekend.

This is the downstairs bathroom. The shower tile is complete with white subway tile and the wainscoting has been installed. The paneling for the wainscoting was originally used in the laundry room for the walls and ceiling.


Here is the built in cabinet in the master bathroom. The green doors were originally part of a beautiful built in cabinet that I really wanted to keep but didn't work out. I'm so thrilled we were able to save the doors. The other set of doors were saved too. Just not sure where I will use them yet. Eventually, they will be painted white. Keeping the glass knobs but unsure of the hardware for the drawers. More to come on that.


Awww...my shower. So pretty and bright!


Laundry room cabinets. You will notice the framed in counter top. That is where the granite will go and the washer/dryer will go underneath that.


When we first started the house, the garage was questionable. Do we tear it down or repair? Luke had the genius idea to reframe it from the inside out. And now it looks like a brand new garage. Well, I guess it is really. Also, the drive was poured last week. I really didn't understand it when I saw it. The cement is there so that no matter what side of the car you get out on you will be on cement. The middle will be filled with crushed granite so the ground will obsord water when it rains. Good idea!


We took the opportunity to make things permenant.



Luke trimmed all the windows in the house then had someone come in and finish them off with finishing trim. He did an amazing job. He's very talented.


Next on the list, paint. Ugh, paint! I picked out 3 samples this week and they look identical. This is not going to be fun. Wish me luck!
