The (pretty-much) finished product

Our home



My kitchen... the vent hood is too big and will be replaced after we move in.



The kitchen's main sink



The powder room



The intercom, and more importantly, the baby monitor

Almost done

My double ovens



The powder room sink



dining room, with hutch



The thing that keeps us from falling down the stairs. I am sure it has a name, but my kids are driving me crazy and I am just trying to update this blog... so this is what you get.



fire place, obviously

Adding some color....

Closet bench and eventual mirror.... with stain.



The kitchen

China Hutch

Mantel

(Everything is stained now... I just didn't bring the camera last time.)

Our view in the back.... clearing some trees.

Some Cool Improvements!

The doors to the study.


The shelves and desk in the study.


The wood floor in the study.


A little recessed shelf in the master shower.



A little whoopsie!!!

The retaining wall in the back did not, in fact, retain.
(However, since we had not finished the rain gutters which would have directed the rain elsewhere, the insurance will pay to fix it. Yipee!)

A couple more

Not a whole lot new to show, but....


More tile in the main area.


Our choice for wood... bamboo... 'cause we're "green" like that.


Our master bath, looking in from the bedroom.

Moving forward

Back of the house... Finished (mostly).


Tile in the kitchen.



Kids bathroom and shower... tiled!


Master bath.... almost tiled.




Entry way and what will be the hallway and kitchen tile.


Check out our mailbox... almost. (Anyone know how to leave mail in a mailbox that doesn't have a flag??? None of the mailboxes in the neighborhood have flags... perplexing....)


Deciding on paint colors.... which do you like best?

Introducing our house...

Okay, so it isn't actually finished, but you can at least get an idea...




living room ceiling


Look through from living room into the kitchen


One of the kiddo's room... not sure which one yet.


Guess we should have taken more pictures... but anyway, the house has been sheetrocked. (I think I just made up a word) They should finish up the walls this week. (Tape and Mud...whatever that is...) And I believe they are going to start on the floors next week.

Woohoo for progress!!!!
