Pictures in Blair's bath

I am very pleased with the pictures in Blair's bathroom. They are photographs I took and one from a friend. (thanks Lee) I photoshoped them into a sepia finish and printed them at Costco. The biggest challenge was the frames. I did not want to spend a lot of money- my original plan was to make the frames, but I found cheep pictures in 12x12 frames at Walmart- took the pictures out and used the frame! His rustic looking bathroom is about done!

Moving Day II

Today the men and their truck loaded us up and took everything to the new house. What a long and exhausting day. They moved stuff for 11 1/2 hours!

I had my rugs down and ready for the furniture.

Carpeting

The carpet went in the upstairs den and guest room. These are the only rooms in the house with carpeting. I hope that works out okay. I will be glad not to have to keep the carpet clean, but I for see dust bunnies moving in.
The guest room got a nice frieze (which is a fancy name for 'We brought back shag')

and the den has a low pile with squares in it. It is kind of funky, but I love it!

The Front Door

I love my front door! Lumpkin Stain Glass put it together for me . I liked the old door at the restaurant were we eat in Foley. Patricia and I copied what we could from that door, added our own touches, made it affordable, then went with it! Lumpkins is so good to deal with and I love the work they did! Now I need the door knob to make it all complete.

Warning

The purpose of this blog was to help anyone building with the order of building and to mark the progress of our house for our "scrapbook". Along the way I have recommended some of the subcontractors and given warning about others. Today, I am strongly recommending that anyone interested in residential elevators run from Southern Mobility Products. In the process of getting the elevator running properly, Steve (the short installer with glasses) has acted like a total jerk. He quickly jumps to his defences and begins chewing the customer out. Yesterday, he began on me-He informed us that he was going to keep 'making the builder do it till he got it right'. I suggested that he make a list of what was required and give it out so builder and trim would know what to do rather than guessing. He flew off the handle at me. David stepped up and told him to stop, and I walked away.
Do not use this company. This little dude thinks he is educating the world with his elevator knowledge, and he is hard to work with.

Looks like home

Athletic Landscapes did an awesome job on the landscape. They started working in the morning, and by the afternoon we had a finished yard. Shutters and the glass for the front door will give the finishing touches!

Tile is done!

This is Alex's bathroom. The picture does nothing for the tile. We were short on glass in this one, so made a design with what we had. I like it- it's different.

Blair's bath is going to be the best. They haven't washed down the walls yet- the tile here looks like wood, and the floor is rock- it is like showereing outside!

The guest bath was my least favorite, but it has kind of grown on me.

Guest bath again.

Master car wash. The picture is poor, but this one turned out great too.
