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!

Cheers! It's shamrock shake time which means March is right around the corner. We ponder... is the end in sight??

A few details in the family room.

Ceiling still needs to be trimmed... gettin' there!

Looking from the living room through the foyer and into the kitchen.

The front stairwell is coming along beautifully. I love the combination of all these textures.

Looking from upstairs all the way to the basement stairwell.

Amazing wood work details. Finally we have an artisan on site!

The master bedroom fireplace & ceiling are trimmed. There will be a door to cover the television.

Bedroom details.

Cabinets are being delivered. These have caused much grief! Let's hope they look good once installed...

Finally... TRIM WORK!

And the interior doors are installed. This is Sophie's closet.

Window trim details.

Baseboard trim detail.

The tin roofs are being installed and look amazing. We love the old fashioned detail they add.

The front porch was being worked on today. I snapped this photo from inside the car since it was sleeting and icky out. We're thrilled with the finish work being done and the pace with which it's coming together. Let's hope it keeps up! Installation of the cabinets will hopefully happen later this week so watch for more updates soon.
