We were resigned to repaint later, but after it dried it has become less objectionable.
Even better in the shade:
And the rear of the house. My hemp climbing rope is just visible under the taller porch in the rear. It hangs between the middle and left windows so as to be mostly invisible from within the house.
Meanwhile, work continues inside on the cabinets. Our cabinets were ordered with solid wood drawers, but delivered with plywood boxes. Additionally there were several dimensions that were incorrect and the wrong hardware. All of it is being fixed, but it has delayed us a bit. We are also still waiting on interior doors. Our installer, Chris (below), is fantastic.
And here's the kitchen after most of the cabinets are in:
The kitchen is solid cherry (except the island which will be painted). The entertainment center and master bath are also cherry. Other bathrooms and Emily's office are pine (which will be painted). The guest bathroom is walnut. Here's the entertainment center:
Here's a view of the living room with the entertainment center on the right.
And a closeup of the outside cedar ceiling, looks nice.
The floor in most of the house is a Mirage hardwood (Aged Maple Brownie), shown below at bottom. The kitchen cabinets will be stained the darker color to the right and above the floor. The entertainment center will be stained the lighter color to the left and above the floor.
The temporary power was put in today.
Tomorrow Willie our trim carpenter arrives to turn the pile of lumber below into our closets, baseboard, and window sills. (Except the MDF - we're returning that for pine #2 as I don't want MDF even in the closets.)
As soon as we finish cleaning up the stucco detritus we'll put in the HVAC systems. Garage doors should arrive late this week or early next.
