Paint, Fridge, Tile, Stone

Hello.

Nina and I returned from Copenhagen (married!) on Saturday evening, and headed up to the house for the first time in a couple of weeks on Sunday morning. The most visible progress was certainly on the first floor of the house, where taping, spackling and painting have been completed. The recessed light fixtures were also installed. Have a look...


The next shot shows the reveals between the wall and ceiling and wall and baseboard. Also note the curtain track recessed into the ceiling.


Here's a pic of the powder room. Those are reclaimed fence posts on the lower half of the walls.


The refrigerator was also put in place, but has not yet been paneled.


Below is the master bath shower, which was recently tiled. The floor of the shower will actually be covered by an ipe deck, and the rest of the bathroom floor will be tiled in the same travertine as the shower walls.


Finally, a couple of shots of the exterior of the house. The tent around the garage has been taken down, and you can finally see the ledgestone against the garage door. The door is made of the same cedar as the deck ceiling above, but is completely covered in dust. Once cleaned, it will have the same vibrant color.



We'll be up again this weekend, and will post more then. We expect to have electrical outlets by then, and our floors will be sanded in preparation for finishing.

Cool house. I love the wood ceilings.
Found your site by hitting the "next blog" tab.
Doing a document like this about your new home is a great idea.
The place looks beautiful.
