PROGRESS

We are seeing some progress in the project!  This is just a quick update to show you what is happening.  By the end of the week I'll be able to show you a lot more!

The front of the house is coming along nicely.  I am extremely pleased with my decisions here.  Some decisions are harder than others.  The exterior was a tough one for me.  It was all worth it in the end.  Of course the blue tent doesn't do anything for the house!  Getting trim around the front door, and the posts framed will make a huge difference.  Svea's window seat on the top floor is not meant to be yellow.  Its just the colour of the board they used.  It will be the same as the trim.



This is one side of my mud room - where the kids will keep all their coats, backpacks instruments and ssshhoooees!  The black wall is magnetic blackboard paint for reminders and notices as I walk out the door!



The beginnings of our laundry room.  The cabinets look blue because they have a protective film over them.  They are actually grey.  I have open shelving for uppers.



Here is the kitchen!!!  Hoooray!

Beams above the great room.



 

This is the boys bathroom vanity.  Sort of a sideways picture.  Cool eh?

Svea's bathroom:  She has some of my best deals.  Her vanity was from Costco.  It was a fraction of the price of custom.  It came with the sink and countertop too!



Im so excited about our ensuite vanity!  I have designed one similar for a client.  The cabinet maker (Allan Martens) had extra veneer shipped to make one for us too.  Of course hardware, countertop, mirrors and lights will make a big difference!



The rest of the bathroom:



Tile was something that there wasn't a huge budget for.  But I don't think that you can tell!  Most of the floor tile was around $2.50/sq ft - which is almost unheard of.  Most of the bathroom tile is subway tile which is the nicest tile for the least amount of money.  The wall tile shown above is not real stone, but no one needs to know that!

 

Again I apologize for my inconsistency in posting.  The project and my client's projects are all consuming.  I look forward to revealing one of my most stunning rooms to date.  A living room in teals... Stay tuned
