Kitchen Island (Part 1)

View of the kitchen island cabinets. Hard to tell how they're going to look without the countertop installed. There is about 12 feet of cabinetry here, including the empty space for the dishwasher.

Pano Update

Panoramic shot of the exterior taken close to street level. You can actually see the metal roof.

Railing (Part 3)

Railing for the master deck and balcony.

Railing (Part 2)

Steel railing being assembled by the front entry.

Ditch Witch

Septic guys have started digging the trenches for the leach field up front.

HVAC Units

Recently installed HVAC units. The larger one handles the first and second floors.

Stairs (Part 2)

All the steelwork for the supports are done. That white oak paneling is looking really good. We still have a few things to do (treads, step lights, handrail), but it's nice to finally be able to go up and down the stairs the way they were intended.

Powder Room Tile

We went with a slightly different color for the powder room (slate grey color) but retained the same vertical theme.

Kitchen Cabinets (Part 2)

All the boxes of for the kitchen cabinets are up, including the island (not pictured). I couldn't get a good wide pic so I just took two pics from each side.

Walking around the space feels great. Can't wait to try it out.

Empty Lot

Lot looks much larger now that all the debris has been hauled off in preparation for the driveway.

Bath Tile (Part 2)

Bath tiles are going up and looking great. We went with the same size and color for both the master and lower bath. Should end up with a very clean look when it's all done.

Natural Choice

We decided to go with an off-white color for the exterior painted surfaces that was aptly named Natural Choice. Looks very similar to the unpainted siding color but has a nice buttery look to it up close.

Bath Tile (Part 1)

Just got this pic today of the bath tile orientation. I read somewhere that this is called raindrop, where long tiles are oriented vertically on a wall. These are 6 x 24 so they are fairly big and fill out the large master bath nicely.

Boxes (Part 2)

Box for the master bath vanity cabinets. This one is 8 feet long.

Railing (Part 1)

Steel supports for the railing by the front entry.

Stairs (Part 1)

Steel support beam detail for the stairs.

The Fridge

The day I've been dreading has finally arrived - we finally get to move this 700lb behemoth from the garage into the new house.

Delivery is scheduled for March 23rd.

Boxes (Part 1)

Box for the lower bath vanity cabinets.

Stucco Finished

Bedroom Window

View of the interior bedroom window overlooking the living space.

Landscape Drawerings

Hello, my name is Stephen and I like to do drawerings! Would you like to see them? Are you looking at my bum, bum-looker!?

My landscape architect sent me this teaser drawing of the master plan for the landscape. Really like the colors and the direction it's going.

Stair Render

Preliminary rendering of the stairs. We still have some concerns about the height of that open riser and need to look at some mock-ups to make sure it's not too big for kids.

Neat how something can be scary and beautiful at the same time (reminds me of Nicole sometimes).
