Floors Sealed, More Light Fixtures, Mattresses

Our floors have been sanded and sealed with a matte water-based polyurethane.  They look incredible.  In the above picture, note that (a) the floors are finished, (b) the back island panel has been applied, (c) three of the five dining room pendants have been installed, and (d) the refrigerator panels are ready to be installed - they're against the wall on the right.

In the above photo, you can see the wall sconces on the fireplace wall (that's the fireplace on the floor waiting to be installed - the cabinetry should be ready for installation this week).

Above is a close-up of the floors.  We love the rustic character, and we chose not to fill any knots.

Above is another shot of the floors.  The color looks much different in this shot.  In reality, the color is closest to the first picture in this post.

And finally, this is a shot of our finished stairs.  To the right, you can see the dark gray hexagonal tiles on the entry floor.  The walls in the entry were painted a light green, but we really don't like it, so it's being repainted to match the rest of the downstairs.  Also check out the sweet light fixture we got for the entry and the mercury glass pendants above the stairs.

After going to the house, Nina and I headed to Sleepy's and bought four beds (a king for our room, a queen for one guest room, and 2 twins for the other guest room).  They're being delivered a week from Saturday, so we might just stay up there that night!

This should be another week of significant progress.  Hopefully the plumbing fixtures will be installed, painting will be complete, the remaining lights will be installed, the kitchen counter will arrive, and our custom fireplace and master bath cabinetry will arrive.  Hopefully...
