Finished With Construction

Here are the post-construction pictures.  We apologize for the delay. 

We painted the exterior of the house off-white and the trim a charcoal color.  We also replaced the door with a double mahogany door.

We also got rid of the railing.


The trim work around the door is being painted this week (right now it's just primed).

New front foyer.  Need some good art here!


Light fixture in front foyer


Living room awaiting its furniture.  Don't those new windows add so much more light?


Fireplace!  Note the stainless steel on the sides and top.

Dining room.  It's completely open to the living room (all walls removed).

Light fixture that coordinates with that in the foyer.

This is where the swinging door into the kitchen used to be.  That wall also got shortened by a little bit.

The KITCHEN!!



I really love these Bar Stools.  They are modern with a pop of color.  They are from a company called Bend Goods in California.


This angle is cool because you see the big pendant lights (Restoration Hardware) and the range hood.  

Laundry room and pantry.  There is no longer a door to the addition and no more carpet!

Double oven and warming drawer.  This was one of my must-haves for the kitchen.  I guess Thanksgiving will be here.

Big, wide sink! And under cabinet lighting!


We widened this window a bit because it was our sole source of light for the kitchen.  They are also casement (vs double hung) windows.

Fridge and microwave.  Same dishwasher as before!

Alternate view of island.

Former redroom and its new door to the outside.

Love those vaulted ceilings.

Luis got his huge TV for the wall.


Ah, the useless nook.  Someday I will make you useful!!


Powder room.  Looking for a good mirror to hang above the vanity.  Any suggestions?

Mudroom upper cabinetes and coat rack


Utility sink and Lower cabinets.  We decided to add doors here.  They should be ready next week.

Same door to the driveway/carport.

View from family room into rest of the house

Neet some good art there as well!

Hallway.  Note the two new closets on the left (coat closet and linen closet).  I love those new door handles!

View from hallway.


The end.  Stay tuned for furniture updates.  We've got some good stuff coming!

New windows and the island arrives!


This post is dedicated to the new front windows.  They are so clean, unobstructed and free of storm shutters!

Front door.  Still has the faux door there.  We found out this week that the hardware for the front door won't arrive until June so we will likely be moving in before they finish this.

Front foyer:

Living Room and Dining Room:

Fireplace

Behold!  The kitchen has its island!

Mostly covered up now but you can see the dark stain:

Drawers are in the island (no drawer covers, though)

More of the kitchen.  The dishwasher will go where that space is:
 
View from kitchen into breakfast nook:

Famiy room - not much has changed here:

Vanity (floating) is now installed in the bathroom:

Upper cabinets are in the mudroom:

Most expensive cabinets ever. Moving on....

Linen closet has its shelves now:

New attic stairs:

Cabinets and Trim


Here is the latest progress:

Front foyer

Living room/dining room.  Lots of trim pieces lying on the floor.  See those windows over there just waiting to be installed??


Cabinets!


Board on the floor marks where the island will go


Laundry room and pantry


Family room (can't call it the red room any longer)


Useless nook

Powder Room

Mudroom cabinets. There will be upper cabinets at some point ...

This is where the utility sink will go in the mudroom

The windows have trim now!
