Fireplace Update

Can't wait to curl up in front of the fireplace with a good book. I think we need a faux Polar Bear rug in front of it.

Daily Update, August 20

Refrigerator and wine/beer cooler came today, but since the cabinet hasn't been fixed yet, they're sitting in the garage in their boxes. I'm dying to see them, but will resist the temptation to open the boxes until they're ready to put in place. Only a few more weeks now. But very likely the week after labor day.


Gary has started on the fireplace. He's got quite a lot of figuring to do and I guess these are his notes and practice runs with scrap wood.

More lighting fixtures. And I can't resist posting pictures of Amber's room. Miles is already tired of the pink and wondering when we can paint it.

Master fan.

Master shower. The tile is grouted and it looks awesome.

Linen shelves in the master bathroom.

Tile entry. He just set this today so the tile is dirty and hasn't been grouted. It's amazing how much better the tile looks after the grout is in.

Dream Kitchen - Range Backsplash

The picture frame tile backsplash looks awesome. I am very pleased with how this turned out.

Master Closet & Shower

The master closet built-ins are complete and it looks really nice. The pictures don't do it justice, but I absolutely love the bench!

Master shower floor tile is coming together. Shouldn't take him too much longer to complete our bathroom also.

Tile Starting to Shape Up

Ok, so maybe it's the tile guy who's the bottleneck. He said he'd be done in 2 weeks though. We'll see.

Starting to Tile

Starting with the master bath. There were some interesting cuts on these tiles, but very happy with the work he's doing.
