Millwork

Here is the kitchen/living/loft millwork. The big beam was wrapped in a pine veneer and will be painted like the cabinets in the kitchen. The loft will get a stain quality railing and be stained to match the floors.

Here is a peak at the bathroom cabinets and millwork. The left is an extra bedroom downstairs and the right is the master bath cabinet. The master is made of maple and will be stained, all others will be painted like the kitchen.

Tile work

Here is the tile work that has been completed for the extra baths. The Master is still under construction.

A splash of color

We finally painted the exterior! It is a gray color with just a touch of green. It looks slightly greener with a blue sky...the clouds make the gray stand out. White trim and columns (after careful deliberation ;-) offset the gray/green and a red door is a nice splash of color (which, unfortunately, you can't see in this photo) practicing the ancient art of feng shui.

Decks- finally!

We were actually going to wait to put on the decks until we painted, but the framers have time now and realistically, it is only a little more work for the painter to throw some plastic over them to avoid over spray, we so thought- go ahead- let's keep moving! There are a total of five decks (or four due to the fact that the back two are connected) on this house which will provide fantastic outdoor living space! It will be nice to finally stand out there and see the view!

Sheetrock

The master bath- shower to the left, bath to the right-


Bedroom- this picture was taken at about 8:30 this morning...gorgeous light, but there will be no sleeping late in this room!

Loft, overlooking living area

Master bedroom ceiling and windows...

Sheetrock looks good; a very light texture was put on yesterday and we are ready to begin trim out!

Trim and Proper

Here is the big picture of the exterior. We decided to trim out the front columns and the porch columns. All the trim on the house is KDAT (Kiln dried after treatment- essentially treated lumber that is dry so you can paint it) so the porches and everything will all remain exposed and either be painted or left with the more rustic look.

More exterior work

Does it ever end? Luckily, we are at a point where the exterior can be finished while we work on the interior.

The framers finally hung the door for the interior entrance- we had to wait for drywall to do this (we'll get you some pictures of the interior with walls in just a second). The stairwell was wrapped in hardi plank and trimmed out just like the remainder of the exterior.
Here are some photos of the ground floor trimmed out as well. We trimmed the garage out in plywood as it will be enclosed, but because all the power beams we used were yellow wood and exposed, we had to wrap them in hardi like the majority of the exterior. Our framer finished the trim with a nice cedar 1x2 to cover the edges- doesn't it look great?!
