There has been a great deal of time between posts as we worked to finish the house, Joe going to work full time every day, and me working on a painting show that opened yesterday. We got the house to move-in condition, and will complete the trim and painting and some wall tile while we live in the house. So here are some photos of where we are now:
Dining Room (w/ view into LR where Joe made built-in bookcases).The French doors were given to us by friends who also gave us an
amazing mantle (several photos down)
Half Bath (off of the office/studio)
Master bedroom: it's a mess as we don't have closets ready,but I wanted to show the color--kind of a midnight blue
We refinished the original Butler's pantry and made it into a bar.
A sitting area in the front entry--this is Pip's favorite chairand he was happy to be reunited with it.
Guest Bedroom: again, a mess, but we went out on a limb with the color and I really like it
Kitchen: no pulls or knobs on yet, but we're cookin' with gas.An island will go in the center under the schoolhouse lights.
Living Room: the mantle was generously given to us by friends and we will refinish it before installing it. Gas logs are in the fireplace but hidden by the artwork at the moment.
Master bath: we're still under construction a bit here. We need to sand and paint the patch near the light, install a white tile backs plash, and figure out how to install the shower part of the claw foot tub. The laundry is hidden in a closet off camera to the right.
Pip is relieved the hardest part is over. The bookcases make a greatlookout for birds and squirrels in the front yard.
