Laminate, granite, and toilets, oh my!

Since the last update, we have had finish electric nearly completed, installed ~95% of the laminate flooring, plumbing, etc...

Here is a shot of the laminate floor looking into the kitchen.

This is the breakfast nook area. Sorry for the dusty lens - building a house is dirty business!

These exterior lights are from Home Depot, and are a great deal. They look old fashioned, but are energy efficient with CF light bulbs.

This is the central vacuum collection unit. This thing sucks :)

Here is a look at the guest shower with nice blue glass tiles and white trim pieces. Nice, huh?

A shot of the island looking from the kitchen out to the family room. Man that island is HUGE!

Here is a look at the bar. Dusty with granite dust, but also a big island - 4-5 people at least.

This is our pot-filler over the electric cooktop for adding cold water to cooking pots.

Danze makes some beautiful fixtures.

Here is the main kitchen sink faucet. This is a busy shot, but from L to R are: air gap, soap dispenser, faucet, control valve, sprayer, and instant-hot-water dispenser.

Electrolux dishwasher. Not fully installed - needs electric hookup and final leveling.

Here is the Electrolux double oven, fully installed in the cabinets. This baby was HEAVY - around 300 lbs!

Powder room pedestal sink - Kohler Devonshire products. The matching toilet is to the L, but out of the shot.

Here is a photo of our custom front door entry system. This Craftsman style door has "water glass" windows, and on the outside there is a "dentil" shelf on the door and the two side-lights. NICE!

Closeup of the water glass in the front door. Sort of looks like old leaded glass.

Here is the "Hers" side of the "His and Hers" master bath sinks.

Toto Carlyle toilet in the throne room. This is supposed to be the most powerful toilet out there... We'll see.

Lasco Montrose II Premium jetted/air massage tub. Ahhhhhh, luxury!

In this picture you can see the little "knobs" in the bottom that emit the air bubbles and the jets that shoot out water to massage.

The Roman-style tub faucet, valves, and sprayer.

Here are the two windows that can be seen from the "laying in the tub" position. Beautiful view, right?? And how about that cool "Craftsman-style" molding? All the trim/molding will be painted with fast-dry B47 white enamel paint.

The french doors (there is another set around the corner from these) that will allow this room to be private or not as needed for guests, kids, treadmilling, etc.
