Almost Done – Part 2

Rick and I stopped by the house over the weekend.  This is the mudroom / laundry.  It is a little sad how excited I am to have a new washer and dryer.

Almost Done - Kitchen

Rick and I stopped by the house over the weekend.  This is the kitchen update.  The appliances have been delivered but not fully installed….. yet.

The Vent-a-hood will be getting much use soon.

counter top microwave without taking counter space.  After the little house and our current rental, we won’t know what to do with all this counter space.  This should be a nice feature in the future if the microwave goes out it is easy to slide in a new one.

Dish washer is not quite completely installed.

Master Bedroom and Bathroom

Great progress this week on the house.  The master bedroom and bathroom are getting closer to complete.  Not sure why, but a few of the pictures have a yellow cast to them. 

The plumber is not quite done installing the tub fixtures.  I can NOT wait to use the tub.

The counter top, sinks, and faucets are in.  The light fixtures are installed too, but that did not quite make it into the picture.  The mirror for over the sinks is sitting in the garage in a cardboard box ready to be installed.

The shower door is hanging out with the mirrors in the garage waiting to be installed.  The one tile square on the left was just re-grouted.  When the grout dries it will look the same as the rest of the wall.

The beginnings of my shoe rack.

The master bedroom fireplace mantel is complete.  The slate hearth still needs to be attached to the backer board.

Stairs & Railing

We used a prefinished hardwood for the stairs that coordinates with the laminate imitation hardwood floor in most of the house.
