The Cabinets are Hung on the Walls with Care

The kitchen cabinets have been installed, and the island is in it's place.  The two cabinets on each side of the vent hood will have lights and glass shelves for display.  That will be fun to keep dusted, don't you think?

Another view...

They have part of the living room beams installed.

To the left of the fireplace the cabinet is full of display shelves.

To the right of the fireplace, this cabinet will hold the television.  This cabinet was delivered a little different than we thought, it's supposed to have shelves on both sides and the TV in the middle.

Beneath these shelves will sit the washer and dryer.

And check out all of the cabinets on the other side of the laundry room:

Our master bath has this great linen closet in it.

And here is some of the wonderful-ness that we like to call "our closet."

This is part of Shane's side of the closet, with rods, shelves and a shoe rack...

And this is the shoe cabinet that will be hidden by a mirror.

Here are the drawers for my running clothes and above will be shelves for out-of-season clothes.

This is a shoe rack on my side of the closet.  I'm willing to share, if necessary.

Here's a peek at the mother-in-law bathroom.  This is the tile that was supposed to go upstairs.

We opted to leave the misplaced tiles where they are rather than having them pulled up and relocated. 

The upstairs bathroom tile looks much better now that the grout has been applied.

Some of the window trim and baseboards have been installed.

Orange soda, anyone?

This is the upstairs bar in the game room.

And they are working on the staircase.

Our next task is to select the exterior stucco color.  As if choosing the "forever" color for our house isn't difficult enough, the stucco manufacture makes it even more challenging by providing color swatches that are less than an inch square.  So, Dana offered to have the colors mixed up and larger samples made. 

We like the yellow color, but as you can see, it is much too similar to the neighbors house color.  The grey looks too much like baby blue to me.  So we're going to have her mix up a darker grey and see  what we think.
