Making Sausage

Everyone wants to eat sausage but no one wants to see it being made.  That was the past few days.  Home building is an ugly process full of dented walls, chipped edges, and do-overs.  The guest bath was first to receive tile:

 

The master bath shower received a seat and the start of glass tiles.

The tub surround was brought out as a 700 lb solid sheet...

It looks nice, but Guillermo (Memo) had to chisel out all the sheetrock to get it to fit, and then we found out the curvature at the front had not been cut correctly.  So back to the marble shop...

After many false starts we chose our accent wall color in the living room, Tony Taupe.  It is two shades lighter than the surrounding Accessible Beige.  Welcome to our Greige wonderland.  The island arrived:

None of these pictures are particularly lifelike because all of the windows are still covered with painter's plastic as the painters haven't finished yet.  The colors are much richer in person.   Tomorrow we remove the windows to stain the wood trim around the opening portion of the casement windows.  Also the marble bath surround will be returned with a few more sink tops, and the kid's bathroom tiles laid.
