Long time since last update...

Since the last post, much has happened. Most importantly, we have received our Certificate of Occupancy from the county and moved in!

Here is a look at the finished kitchen. It is spacious enough for 2 people to work at the same time without getting in each other's way :)

Here's a shot of the house after the painting and staining got finished. It looks MUCH better than just primer colored!

Here is a close up of the front door/porch area. Note the gorgeous dark-walnut stained door. The door is knotty alder in a craftsman-style. It is nice!









Here is a view of the guest suite, all outfitted for guests. The quilt hanging over the bed came from Mrs. Builder's mother. It is beautiful!

Guest bathroom, in all it's resplendent glory...

And here is the sink in the guest bathroom. The mirror looks nice, don't you think?

Built-in desk and overhead. The design was created by Mrs. Builder, and our general contractor did the cabinets/installation. He is really good! These are cherry and match the kitchen cabinets.

There is Stan, our mason, installing Camas Grey stone on the fireplace.

And here is the finished product. Note the bookcase and entertainment center on either side of the fireplace. They were also built by our general contractor. This room is almost done - just need to get some stain on the mantel.

Well, that is just about it for now. Maybe next time will be finished backyard, last two showers tiled, and front yard done. Until then!
