Drum roll please.... We finally have garage doors!

The carriage style doors will eventually have handles added for a more authentic feel.

Walking in the front door.

The front stairwell wood work is really turning out nice. It will take on an entirely different look and feel after being painted white.

Balusters and railing are being installed. We no longer need to worry about losing a child over the edge!

The upstairs lounging area will eventually have a small sofa, chair and TV.

Front Foyer

The back staircase into the kitchen from upstairs.

So much woodwork!!

The laundry room base was installed in the same black travertine as the floor.

More tile work was completed in the master bathroom.

Things are coming together nicely now and at a lively pace. Next week the cabinets will be finished and shutters in the stone house will be installed. Our counter tops will also go in - black soapstone in the kitchen and laundry room, granite in the bathrooms. The finish carpenters hope to be done by Tuesday. Plumbing will be installed as well. Lots of changes so keep an eye out for updated photos next weekend. Happy Easter to All!

It seems that spring has finally arrived so the mud is drying out and we can move forward with outdoor details.

Tin roof on the bump out in the kitchen.

Working hard to clean up the front porch.

Window trim details on the old house.

We LOVE the laundry room floor!

Black travertine hexagons...

They make me think of chicken wire. Love the refined rustic feel.

My favorite picture - XOXO

The front staircase is close to being done.

A few of the cabinets were installed this week. The kitchen sink will be under the window.

One end of the pantry - a wine fridge will go in the middle and the rest will function as a bar.

Fridge and freezer wall.

Double doors into the master bathroom.

We did the same white octagon and dot tile in all the bathrooms with graphite grout.

Master bathroom shower is started.

Kitchen staircase has begun. We are blessed with Bob the woodworker!

Guest room shower.

Guest room wall showing the doors next to the stone. The windows will be stained rather than painted the typical white.

The girls bathroom.

Girls shower and bath.

The loft. Looking forward to getting a railing up there and permanent ladder.

These are the lockers (upside down) that will go in the laundry room.

Siding has been SO slow! Finally almost done.

The columns are up on the porch and the tin roof is on...

Looks like a great place for a drink in the sun, right?

So, we're getting there!! Still very one-day-at-a-time. It's great fun to see all the long planned out details coming together. I think we actually might live here one day!
