Well, at least we hope we are that close! We have been remiss in posting updates but we are close to our final appraisal and moving in! Without further adieu, here are new pictures:
front door and entry hallway with finished beadboard
walnut cabinet in Master bathroom
mantle and rockwork still to be completed
exterior painting
view from corner of living area; staining still to be done and countertops & appliances to come
front door, to be stained "Chesnut"
window seat in study
pendant lights for eating area and island
looking up the stairs to landing
change of plan; originally the stairs were going to be carpeted, but we changed to stain only...staining in progress
our house as of March 25th
We have also been busy building and painting items for the house. We have built bunk beds and repainted old chairs that we've found second-hand. We sanded down and repainted a mirror frame for the upstairs bathroom and will be making curtains for the kitchen soon.
chairs "reclaimed" from Shackford Hall's dungeon by my dad; the "before" is on the right and the "after" is on the left...these chairs may be as old as me!
other chairs we found at Habitat or Goodwill
Lots of work still remains, but we are hopeful to stay on schedule and get our certificate of occupancy within the next week to ten days. Most of the interior staining is happening this week which will be "Armoire Hickory" and the front door will be stained "Chesnut" (slighter darker). The touch up painting will happen and the two biggest things are the countertops and the carpet, which are both scheduled for this week. Then, the electricians and plumbers finish up and it's time for HVAC and inspections. Hopefully our next post will be of moving day!
