Robbie stained the concrete in one area in the basement under where the pool table will be. It looks pretty cool. It was a 5 step process.



The walk-in shower in the master is complete. Who's going to clean that?







Here is the tub in the master bath.





Here is the fireplace. They installed granite yesterday.



A look at the kitchen cabinets still not quite complete.






The tile guy started on my backsplash today. I found the fleur de lis tile at an art shop and it started as my inspiration for the rest of the area. I love the way it is turning out.

Columns leading into the dining room area.

Windows and door leading to the back covered patio.

Robbie took this big boulder from our basement and made it into a water feature. Water flows out of the top and recirculates back into a pump hidden under the rock. There is a drill bit stuck in it right now, hmm... gotta figure out how to get that out!



Robbie built this hidden shelf into the wall. It actually opens up to reveal hidden storage under the stairs. Pretty cool!



Cabinets are almost complete. They are a maple with a ebony glaze and black Olde World. Yes, I paid extra to have that scuffed up look! :)

Granite is in! Santa Cecelia light



More landscape in the front of the house.

Landscape is complete. This is an area to the side of the house.

This is a picture of the house completely landscaped. Sod is in and back yard is seeded and strawed. Irrigation system is on in this picture. Shutters are also on. Outside is ready!



Tile work is still being done in master bath. The rest of the tile in the other bathrooms and laundry are finished. This is the decorative tile around whirlpool tub area. It was grouted today but I took these pics yesterday.

Landscape in this week. It is completely finished now but I need to take more pics when it is not raining. This is the side of the house leading around to the back patio.

These are the sconces going down the basement stairs.



They started on the master bath. (antique white with glaze)

More laundry room cabinets.



These are some of the laundry room cabinets. They are also maple. These are my cubbies, there are four total.

Not a great picture but this is the hutch. It is missing the glass doors and black bead board.
