Late June - C'mon already!

Seriously ....
It's a little house after all!

So there have been a few hold ups - but as always- I'd say the outcome will be worth the wait (even the long wait!)

You saw the deck already - I know, but here it is again.
I really love the covered space that we created.
It's just a wonderful spot to hang out, listen to frogs & watch fireflies :)





The half bath plumbing was completed - so once the new concrete was dry I was able to extend the flooring into that area.
I really like the traditional look of the grey & white 

The Granite arrived - and I got busy installing cabinet hardware right away.
I love a large single bowl sink. I have one & think it's the greatest thing. ( Perfect for cleaning large pots, a cooler or even a small child or pet!) 

 I am really starting to appreciate the new window over the sink. What a difference it makes! 


Appliances are in!
I know - it's a bit crazy that I won't remove the plastic for the photo, but I want to keep them pristine for the new owners.



New faucet for the tub looking sparkly :) 


New shower head ...


The half bath - coming together! 



Finally got all of the hardware replaced. It's so nice to have everything nice & clean 



More new ceiling fans. It's nice to have fans in the bedrooms - and these look beautiful with the paint colors 
( hard to tell from the picture - but the glass slipper ( pale blue) on the ceiling is really pretty )


Decided to paint these steps. The idea of carpeting steps that came off of the mud room, just did not make sense to me.
This way if someone ( or some pet)  tracks something in from the back yard - these can be wiped off 


The family room carpet was a big decision.
I can't decide if I chose the color because it was, in fact the perfect color ... Or if I just fell in love with the name.

Notorious Goucho!

Either way - I really think it looks great. This is now a warm inviting room. It's a darker color than I would typically use in a room this size - but with two windows and a skylight ... It's SO bright!




We're so close now

Working on the walkway today 



So close ....
There are only little details left to be completed - and of course the Big Clean. 

Have a Happy 4th of July!!
