Nina drove up to the house this morning and took some great pictures that show that we're really coming down the home stretch. The covered deck is just about done - the only thing left to do is install the recessed lights, speakers and ceiling fan. Speaking of the ceiling fan, Walter built a small flat surface from the cedar so the fan could be mounted in the center of the peak. Here's a picture...
The ipe cap was also applied to the railing...
The cabinets were re-installed, this time for good. The large box on the right will house our refrigerator, which is an integrated, walnut paneled Thermador Freedom side by side...
And here's a shot of our newly installed Bluestar range. It's 36" wide, with 6 burners (up to 22K BTU's!) and an extra large gas oven. The door is black. It's right in the middle of the 13 foot island which is temporarily covered with cardboard.
The reclaimed fencepost cladding has been applied to the powder room walls. Those are paint samples on the wall above. Walter will be painting the first floor walls soon.
The next shot is of the skylight in the guest bathroom. Walter suggested cladding the channel in the same cedar we used for the deck ceiling and garage door. We think it looks great.
The master bath is currently being tiled. We used a stone called durango in here. I think it's a type of travertine. This is a shot of the shower...
And finally, a couple of shots of the ledgestone.
We expect things to move pretty quickly now, so stay tuned.

You have a beautiful house and a wonderful blog. Thanks for sharing. I came across your blog via a post you made on GardenWeb, in the Building a House forum.
It is amazing to me that you are able to keep up this blog while building a house. I am also having a modern style house built, and the research and decision making I have to do to keep up with the builder is running me ragged.
