This past weekend the trees were treated to "haircuts."

A weekend of clean up... big bonfire to come!
Sophie helping Dad pile up the fire pile.
Lilacs are in bloom.
A peek inside the barn basement.
Lots of work to be done here... someday.
The back porch doors were stained and hung.
Love the color!
Looking from the back porch into the living room. It will be a great area to entertain in.
We have counter tops!
Honed black soapstone on the kitchen counters and in the window sills.
There's a layer of dust on the island. Such is life these days!
Oh, how I love the pantry!
I cannot wait to organize the kitchen, stock the bar and get to cooking for a party.
The kitchen/dining stair case is almost complete.
The balls on the balusters are not installed here - there will be a cap under them. 
Upstairs hall railing and lounge area.
The loft railing was also installed.
A sliding library ladder will be added for access to this fun space.
The girls bath. Our bathroom counter tops are Minsk granite.
Built in shelves in the girls bath.
A shot into Elle's room. I love how the doors and soapstone sills pull together. The window sashes are stained the same as the back porch doors. 
The master bath comes together a bit more.
Still waiting on some corner tiles to wrap this job up.
A towel warmer will go in the spot with the taller chair rail.
It'll be exciting to see the pedestal tub in place... with a chandelier hung over it!
Our bedroom is stain central. Getting the rest of the exterior doors prepared.
And last but not least, the counter top in the laundry room.
I think we're getting there. Still one-day-at-a-time and a whole list of little odds and ends but painting should be in full force soon. We expect the plumber out this week and a wrap up on the stairs. Watch for updates again soon. XOXO
