House update

Hi all!
Remember my last post when I said things would soon be crazy busy?  WELL it has happened!
Shaun has been busy trimming windows and doors, building closets and pantry shelving.  The cabinets arrived and they are all amazing!  The cabinets are beautiful and the installers were incredible to watch.  Such craftsmen. 


It took 4 of these very large trailers to get our cabinets to the house.  OK I may have gone a bit overboard on the built ins but what can I say.... remember this is supposed to be the last house.   (ha!)  Still taking bets on that....
The kitchen range hood! I sent a couple ideas to Brad at Bent Creek Customs and he designed this hood.  I am thrilled with it!  The cabinets are knotty alder (easy on the knots) When they are finished they will be so beautiful.
The built in entertainment center and moulding detail.  Shaun designed this around his television and I think it turned out perfect.  The man loves his TV.  See the little rectangle in the back center?  It is a opening into a closet in the spare room. All of the components can be hooked up from behind! There is a little door in the closet that covers it all up but provides quick and easy access.  Perfect!
This is the master bath vanity and moulding detail.  The white squares you see will be mirrors and the long green/white strip will be a tile back splash.  The tile we chose is incredible I will show it to you next update. 

Everything is coming along as expected.  The cabinet guys are finished and the insulators are back to spray in the attic insulation.  Shaun is almost finished trimming windows and doors and will start on base board today.  I plan on spending my day with a caulking gun in the garage, my studio and storage room.

More to follow......

Hope everyone is enjoying their Christmas preparations and the anticipation of seeing family and friends over the holidays. 

Love to all
Jeanne
