Almost There



This week saw quite a bit of progress.  The floors were sanded and should be sealed this week.  The stairs were also installed.  They're white oak, just like the floors.


We ran the treads and risers to be flush with the wall.  It definitely makes for a more interesting set of stairs.


The recessed lights were installed.


The range hood was put in place.


This is the den.  There will be a media cabinet against this wall, on which a TV will sit.  There will be wall sconces installed where the light bulbs are now.  The wires below are for in-wall speakers.


This is the same wall from the other side.  You can see the track in the ceiling above for the entry closet doors on the far side of the wall.  Those doors can also be used to close off the den if there are guests staying in there.


And here's a shot of the ceiling fan that is in each of the bedrooms.



We expect significant progress again this week.  We'll be having furniture delivered soon, and should be able to stay up there within the next few weeks!

Bill, I love all the photos of your house project! Congratulations! For one, I am always interested in the details of home design... but I also really appreciate your documentation since my husband and I have slowly been updating an old house in
Pleasantville (Northern Westchester)... we are holding out on major changes though, since we would like to move to a more rural area in about five years. Hope to see you two in the new year!
