House Update 10-18-10

House update time!  We have texture on the walls.  We have interior doors.  We have trim.  We have cabinets!!  A lot has happened in the past week.  But seriously, a lot happened today!!  All our cabinets, trim, and interior doors were all put up today!  We just lack our crown molding, window seats, and closet shelving and we will have all the trim work complete!  They will be calking and getting ready to paint tomorrow. We are moving right along!  YEA! 

I think our cabinets look fabulous!  They really make it look like a house again!  We went with knotty alder cabinets again except for our utility room.  We did bead board paint grade cabinets in there.  I am going to do a antique white with a glaze on the utility cabinets and we are going to stain the rest.  Well, we aren’t going to stain them.  Been there, done that.  The painter should be here Thursday or Friday to do the cabinets.  I can’t wait to see how they turn out!!

Take a look…

Utility

Not really the best picture.  But, I will give you another look when they are painted.  We decided to have them build us some drawers to put under our washer and dryer instead of buying pedestals again.  I am really happy with them.  (Yes, we decided to go with front loading again.)  Different brand though.  :-)

Trim

These rounded corner cuts are way beyond my comprehension!

So, what’s left? 

This week…finish trim work and shelving in closets, primer and paint trim and walls, stain and paint cabinets.  Get final measurements done for countertops.

After that…wait for countertops to be ready.  Tile Hayden’s shower.  Marble in master shower.  All flooring.  Finish electrical.  Finish plumbing. 

We are shooting to be done in three more weeks.  What do you think?  Do-able?
