Prepping for paint...


If you look carefully you can see where the drive has been sectioned off.  Concrete will be poured soon...

Behind the orange line and inside the wood (on the right) will be our patio

Path to the front door 

Heres what it looks like right now.  I'm honestly not sure about the stone.  Its growing on me but its definitely more orangeie than I'd expected.

Trim work (mostly) done.




Went out this morning (Sunday) and was surprised to see that they have started work on the stone.  We're not sure about it yet.  Think it will be good, but its hard to judge.  Remember there will be black shutters beside each window.



The stone trim on this side of the house is all done.

This is the "mud Room".  Its the first on the right as you enter the house from the garage.  Its kind of the "liver" of the house.  In other words, it filters out all the crap before it gets into the house.  We customized it and put in a desk with cubbies below and above.  There are two "lockers" on the right wall (unseen) one for each of the kids.

Lots of shelf space in the pantry.

In the keeping room.  The mantle us up and they have framed the raised hearth.  But its still waiting for marble.

View from the keeping room. Kitchen bar on the right, breakfast nook on the left entrance to the screened porch and family room ahead.

From the corner of the breakfast nook.  Looking inward to the Kitchen and the keeping room.

Unfortunately these are dark for some reason (no idea why).  Hopefully you can see that the banquet seating is in the breakfast nook.  

Another view of the banquet.

And one more.

The family room is all trimmed out with the mantle and marble on the fire place.

View from the family room toward the front door.  Note the Coffered Ceiling and the stairs have been done.

We also got a kind of rafter/coffered ceiling in cathedral ceiling of the master bath.

We got whats called a flat coffer on the ceiling of the office.
