Part of patio area & walkways

Finished waterfall. These rocks came from
someone's pasture about an hour west
of here.

Back of waterfall


Standing beside patio area looking
toward waterfall. The 2 pipes sticking up
from the patio is where the firepit
will be built.

As you can see in the background, the fence
is being installed.

We had no choice in fencing material. Black 
metal is the only option-one of the 
drawbacks in living in a gated community.

Office with unfinished wood floors installed

Dining room

Kitchen with unfinished wood floors

Would someone tell what's-his-name that
my chickens have come home to roost!

My wood floors!
Unfortunately, we're going to have another
weather delay.

Couldn't resist sending these pix.
This is the front of the neighborhood
just as you turn in. Part of the golf course.

Hey folks--your beds have arrived!!



Unfortunately, if you want to sleep on 
them anytime soon, you'll have to
sleep standing up!

Now you know that I must really be
bored when I'm taking pictures &
blogging about beds!

As you can see, they're blocking all
the windows. Now it really feels like a cell!

Back porch after final step in stamping
process & sealing


Close up of stamping

Upstairs front bedroom.Trying to show paint
colors. Two front bedrooms are pale
yellow because they only get morning sun

Office. All cabinets have been painted. They
will all be glazed after everything else in
the house is finished.

Entertainment center in family room. The
area above & below the fireplace/mantle
will have Austin chalk. The mantle will
also be glazed

Bench in mud room. The color on
these walls (main body of house)
changes a great deal depending on 
light.

Breakfast area

Other view of breakfast area. This is the 
same color as in the mudroom.

Ok--now don't everyone gasp as I did the first
time I saw the small caboose in my kitchen.
Remember,all the cabinets will be glazed,
so hopefully it won't be so bright (at least
that's the plan!) & the cabs won't be so white.

This will get glazed also. (It's a little larger
than I'd envisioned). It's amazing how
difficult it can be to communicate your
ideas, even when you have pictures.
