Preppin for Granite





Granite dudes arrive tomorrow.
That is the wall where the stove and fridge will live.









Kitchen cabinets are prepped for countertops.
Kitchen sink is in.

Granite can be very expensive. Let's hope my less-expensive purveyor of fine granite and craftsmanship works out!

Bathroom

Taped and prepping for priming and painting. We finally got the additional limestone so the tile expert can return Monday to finish the shower. Word of advice - double check the quantity and your measurements...The old layout had a 30 inch tub so when we decided the shower could be 36 we failed to increase the tile order, plus I did not order enough for the curb. So that put us about a week and $500 behind.

Kitchen


Kitchen door way










Cabinets on the stove wall ready for the installation of the exhaust hood













The kitchen is beacon grey with an accent wall of oxford grey...it is looking a bit mauve in the picture but not in reality, or so I hope. The living room will be ice cubed silver.
That is still the old avacado you see here.
