Interior Doors

I know I am slacking on this. I will try to be better.

The over-the-range microwave was put in place and it looks good. Still need to be plugged in the next time the electrician is here, but I like it.

The interior doors came and we hung those this past weekend. I know they all look the same, but here they are.

Pantry Doors:
Utility Closet:

Office:

Guest room:

Wow, I think I need a little V8. These pictures are a little crooked.

Getting close to move-in day!

Tiling is now finished and we were able to return 6 boxes of tile!

The grouting is done too! Looks great!




One vanity is in place and ready to be hooked up. I can't wait to have a working bathroom.



The appliances showed up too. Stove will be hooked up tomorrow morning.

The fridge will be going back, as the door is defective. It's a really big fridge too, don't know what I was thinking. It also needs a boost to shrink the gap. I'll come up with something.

The washer and dryer look good. I thought for a moment that they wouldn't fit, but they do.

Tile Flooring

It has been one back breaking weekend, and its not over yet. We have been laying the tile flooring. Originally I wanted 18" squares, but when I finally went to buy the tile, they had discontinued it and didn't have enough. This tile job would be going much faster if they had the larger tile, but they were able to round up enough of the smaller 13" tiles to do the job. It's just a lot of kneeling, cutting, sweating, and burning through a couple milwaukee drills mixing the thinset.

As you can see, the tile sort of changes colors depending on the light. It looks fairly pink in some rooms, which is kind of freaking me out, but in other light it looks like I wanted it, nice and gray.


And we've been doing a little painting, but my mom ducked out of the picture real quick, as usual.

Kitchen Cabinets

Sorry, these pictures are not the best. I forgot to bring my camera so I had to use my phone to take pictures.

The upper cabinets were hung today. They look great! I am so excited! The trim has yet to be added, but the kitchen is really taking shape. To get an idea of what is to be added, the refrigerator will be below the left most uppers and the microwave will be in the empty space in the center right side.


My folks brought up my kitchen table too. It looks a little small in this space, but it will do for now.
And the base cabinets and trim are standing by ready to install!
