The bookshelves in the study. I know they're half covered with a bed, but you get the idea. When we walked in it was like, "wow" we loved them so much. The crown is going on this Wed.

Master Bath and Entry
The carpenter has started on the entry staircase. Picture five more newel posts and 100 bronze hammered ballisters. It's hard to see, but the bottom two stairs flare out slightly.
We're getting closer
A look on the main level into the great room, kitchen and dining room. The acacia floors are in and the cherry cabinets with stained espresso maple island are in. The granite is almost done; they're still working on the bar that's being propped up (as you can see). It's hard to see the floor but they're handscraped and distressed (so the destroying is already done for me:)
Monkeys in the basement climbing the ledges in a closet.
Lucas was a little unicorn. The boys kept putting this corner piece on his head making him have a horn. Behind me is the basement kitchenette with the stained maple cabinets behind. The sink and countertops are finally installed. The stain is called washington and is throughout the whole house except the kitchen and master.
The beautiful finished slate backsplash. Yes, the cabinets will darken with time and sunlight. I flipped out too.
The cooktop is resting in place so we can visualize pancakes and eggs. I was worried about being able to clean the slate so we had them carry the granite to the back also for easy cleaning. Functional and gorgeous! The knobs and faucets are going in this week and the crown on the cabinets will be finished. Yes, the tops aren't going to be that plain:)
