The Family Room, Living Room and Dining Room

All the furniture is in the house and slowly it is taking shape.

Looking at the living room through the pass-through in the kitchen

The living room and the library red wall. You can see the granite in the pass-through at the bottom of the picture

The dining room (from the living room). Through the pass-through you can see the kitchen.

The family room (pass-through is on the right)

The family room looking at the fireplace.  Look how awesome the floor looks.

The light weight piano

Sundae looking under the new rug for a toe to bite.

Getting Closer

Underneath the butcher paper and cardboard boxes is the completed wood flooring. If you look on the edges, you can see it peeking through.  The base cabinets are in and the doors and uppers should be installed in a couple of weeks.  The appliances have been delivered too.  Carpet is being installed this week so maybe next week I'll have pictures of the carpet.

Hallway

And the big gaping hole in the back of the house finally has a door too.

Painting and Wood Floors

The painting is almost finished and the wood floors are being laid.

The carpenter has completed spraying the paint and Christina painted her red wall along with cutting in from the ceiling and doing a ton of touch up paint.  The more you look at the paint up close, the more inconsistencies you see.  Shadows and wet paint also play tricks on the eyes.

The corner of the family room wall and ceiling.  The beams are Swiss Coffee White, the ceiling Toasted Cashew and the walls are Toasted Wheat.  The three colors meant lots of touch up and patience.

John discussing the next steps with the carpenter.  Notice the plywood on the floor and the teak wood flooring planks laid out.

The hallway with the paint completed.

The teak flooring is about 1/4 the way completed in the family room and covered up with butcher paper.  You can see a small portion of it.

Windows- In progress

The windows are supposed to be ready tomorrow so the old need to be removed and the area prepped.  John bought an OXXO door to replace the windows and door that was there.  There is now a huge whole in the back of the house.

The master bedroom windows are being replaced also.  Ed, the carpenter, is standing in the open window...I mean open hole.

One of the windows in the dining room.  The other windows, which aren't removed yet, are the living room windows.

Dining Room During

The dining room had a half arch added.  Here's from the kitchen.

Family room, living room and dining room - Before

The living room and dining room is off to the left right after you walk in the front door.  There is Saltillo tile in the entrance, living room and dining room.  The family room tile was all removed along with the saltillo tile in the kitchen.

Living room has cool design in the tile.

Family room.  A friend says to paint the bookshelf white to pull in the white from the ceilings.
