Bathrooms, Tiles, Ceilings and More

This update is filled with Tongue and Grooves (ceilings), and lots of little squares!  In the last 2 weeks we've seen more paint go on the walls, but the real work taking shape is the Bahama Room ceiling and the tile everywhere.

Megan and I were sold on the stained wood ceiling after seeing it in the model...Tile all over the 1st floor however, is one where I lost the battle.  I must say...it does look nice now!

The Bathrooms are finally done and one that we spent WAAAAAY too long at the tile stores.  All in all they came out pretty good. I'm not sure I'm still totally sold on this "Band" thing everyone has going, but in the right places I guess it works. 

Take a look and let us know what you think.  We are going to start a coundown until the day we NEEED to be in the house.  Guests are coming and the end of July is the deadline...that will be a new feature to the site this week.  I'm not sure if it will make us more excited or get us more nervous.  Either way...it's coming!!!

Bahama Room Ceiling Going Up!

A view from the 2nd story into the Bahama Room Ceiling.

We have a window in almost every shower...did
we do that by design!?!?!?

I actually don't mind this one!



Can you see the band inside this window?



This doesn't do it justice...our basket weave in the
Master Marble.

One of my favorites!  1 X 2's

Our attempt at tieing in the basket weave...
No interior designer needed.

Literally the last tile being layed.

Look but don't walk!!!!!!!!!



Great...now we're gunna need to do something with
those steps!!!!



Time To Focus...On The Inside!!!!!

It's been 3 weeks since the last update and things are starting to move quickly...as are the decisions.  I would say that most of this house has been a compromise on things.  Though the roof-top observation deck is mine and the kitchen is Megan's.  Other than that, it's been a 'meeting of the minds' on everything else.

She's had a vision for this kitchen for a while...and it's now coming together.  Maybe all that HGTV did pay off...if you like this kind of thing!!!

Though the first picture is of the outside, this week's update comes with a focus on the inside!  A garage door , cabinets, base-boards and shower work have all begun...and some complete.  The cabinets are in...well those for rooms that we actually ordered.  Seems the 1st floor bathroom didn't exist until all the cabinets were in and people were scratching their heads...Uhhhh Yeah, we're gunna need another set of cabinets in there guys!

Tile and marble work has started in the master bath and should be completed this week...or so we hear.  Rooftop Bar and Bathroom work should be on the table for this week.  Stay Tuned.



Complete with Garage Door now.  (You'd be surprised as to the Garage Door Options)



Kitchen Cabinets...Kudo's to Megan on this choice.
Now if we only ordered enough for the whole house... 





Master Shower tile work starting.

Oh...cabinets did find a home here as well.  These got ordered!

Master base-boards are in!



So are Caroline's.




And the office.




No!!!!!  This will not be a storage garage.  Vehicle will go in here!!!
