Memorial Day update

after a great weekend at the lake, we couldn't get to the house fast enough on monday morning. we arrived to find the house had been painted on the exterior in the front.  the shake was already the natural clay color because it was vinyl. the fiber cement board arrived only primed to be painted. we met with benjamin moore and took the sample of our shake to do a color match. we picked out a color and they started painting on friday. in the sun, it doesn't appear to be the exact color, but in the shade it does match.

the built ins are almost completed and they look great!

mike, the trim guy, also put up our molding in the kitchen and breakfast area. what a difference it makes! the trim will be the same color as the cabinets.

he also worked on the picture frame molding in the dining room.

the ceiling of the screened in porch got the first coat of blue. the color, breath of fresh air, is the perfect faint shade of blue. i'm so excited about it!! i'll try to get a better picture later on.



also, the ceiling of the front porch was installed. we went with bead board and it will be stained the dark walnut, the same color as the front door and hardwood floors throughout the house.

the tile man has started installing the tile in the master shower. sorry, my picture taking isn't quite level.



we officially have air conditioning units outside!! the large one will be for the basement and main floor. the smaller will be for the 2nd floor.
