Master bath & Stone Choice for Our House

The last few days of house building have found us making choices about things that we thought had been done. The house building  process is very interesting.

The "tile master" as I will call him is excellent!  He is really nice as well as being super at his craft.  When we got to the house this afternoon, we found the master bath door blocked as he had been grouting and wanted us to stay off. 

                                                            I was able to take pictures!




The red dining room ceiling will get another coat!
We love how it is looking!!

Nothing has been cleaned off yet, so it should look more vibrant
when it is.

We love the way  the decorative piece is around
 the tub front. 
The knee
 wall will have glass above it.




The stacked stone for the front of the house and the
downstair's fireplace which is floor to ceiling is a little richer
than my picture portrays.

The granite for this vanity is amazing.  The sinks were sent to the granite fabricator, so
maybe we will have some counter tops soon.

The kitchen cabinets are in the making, we think.  They will take about three weeks.  Once they are in the granite man, Tim, will measure and fix the kitchen counter tops.

Wall Painting & Tile Floors

It has been a while since I have had anything to put on the blog in the way of colors.  Jonah was sick most of the week, so I had him and couldn't really go up to the house while it was still light enough to see.  The painters have put the first coat of color every where except the master bedroom and bath.  The tile floors are in though.
The painter said that as soon as they had color on the walls
the trim work would really pop.  It does!

The color of the fireplace surround is not showing
as dark as it really is.




The color of the laundry room is the same as the kitchen, greatroom,
guest bedroom upstairs, dining room ans the guest bathroom.  We had the cabinets painted
dark to go with the floor.



Master bath floor and shower floor.  Maybe tomorrow the walls will go in.



Guest bath downstairs has the same tile and vanity color
as the master bath.


The down stairs color is a light taupe.  Jonah was with us.  He had a great time
 running in the open spaces.  He didn't act sick here!!








Jonah was not quite ready to leave, so Papa helped him out.



The color is not really good in my photos, but there is some contrast.

Every time we see the house it is a little closer to being finished.

Painting

Yeh!! The painters have gotten to the cabinets and trim.  We love the colors so far.  Josh saw the house for the first time.  He has all ready picked the bedroom to stay in when he comes home for visits. It is the one Steve and I both thought he would choose.  The walls will be a light sage green.

The painter told us that they will be putting the wall color on Wednesday, so maybe we will have more to see then.
