What's up next

With all of the progress over the past two weeks, we still have lots of work ahead of us and lots of decisions to make.

Work coming up:

PAINTING EXTERIOR & INTERIOR TRIM

Waiting on the exterior and interior trim around windows, doorways and baseboards to be painted.

FINISHING THE DECK

The deck is just about complete, but the stairs still need to be built. We have to wait for Dominion to finish burying the power lines before this can be completed.

COUNTER TOPS

The templaters came yesterday to do the measurements for the marble countertops for the kitchen and master bathroom. Here is a pic of the "lot" that we chose from Arc.




MASTER BATH TILE

We selected the tile several weeks ago, but since it was on back order, we are awaiting delivery and installation of the floor tile and shower tile.

BACKSPLASH

We have decided to go with a glossy white subway tile with a light gray grout. Awaiting installation.

HARDWARE INSTALLATION

After a million trips to the hardware store, we decided on polished nickel bin pulls and polished nickel knobs for both the kitchen and master bathroom vanity. We decided on polished nickel over chrome because it has a bit of a richer look.

Decisions to make

Bathroom accessories: Need to select TP holders and towel racks. We're thinking chrome (shiny) for both, as to coordinate with the other fixtures. Need to pull the trigger.

Bathroom mirrors: Need to select mirrors. Thinking two medium size white framed mirrors for the master bath; and a frameless oval mirror for the half bath. Again, need to pull the trigger.
