Busy days as we try to complete this house. We've done the stucco cleanup around the house with a bobcat and we have a different bobcat coming this week to landscape the water drainage and tear out the ornamental pond in the front yard.
The reeded glass doors for Emily's office are in (but wrong hinges) and I sent back the reeded glass door for my office because it had a chunk taken out and sloppily repaired.
The shoe cubbies are in and look great. They are the first thing you reach when you come in from the garage.
We finally received our solid wood drawers for the cabinets and (almost) all the pieces we were missing today. The cabinet install is finishing up now and staining has already begun. We also received our vent hood. It will be stained on the bottom to match the cabinets and plastered/painted on the top to match the island.
The cabinets on either side of the vent hood will have clear glass doors and shelves with lighting inside. The lighting will be on the same switch as the lighting above the cabinets. We decided to put a clearcoat only (no color) on the walnut cabinets in the guest bath - they look fantastic.
Here's the first coat of stain on the cherry cabinets in the master bath. It is an ebony color but will look browner and show the grain more after the finishing touches are applied. Here we are applying the Gemini vinyl sealer which will be applied/sanded twice. We will finish with a catalyzed top coat for durability.
That haze in the air is the spray. Cough, cough. Lots happening this week - landscaping, electrical, staining, paint choices, hardware selection. We hope to finish staining next week and begin painting the week after. In the kitchen, we've decided to put a 1" piece of plywood on the island under the marble slab and then laminate a strip of marble under the slab for more depth. The plywood will provide strength for the overhang seating area. The countertop will be unlaminated and 1" lower.
