Pick a Color!

It was a scary day when Eric asked us for paint colors for the whole house. While I can easily pick a color for one room, especially if I don't like the current scheme, a whole house was quite overwhelming.  

We were introduced to the "color wheel". Yikes!

Any inspiration I can get. Thanks Houzz!

Some color combo's. 

Whoopie! Tile process started.

It doesn't seem that long ago that we just had a hole in the ground and lots of mud but Princeton Stone and Tile started the tile install a week or so ago and they've done an amazing job. Here's what we have so far.

My favorite, the dog wash station! Very indulgent, I know, but it is quite muddy here and Donut can get dirty even when it's dry and sunny! With this little spot I can just hose her off before she runs around the house. This is right inside the basement entrance door, very convenient.

The master bath shower floor. I can't wait to walk on these stones barefoot.

Guest bath with tub, I absolutely loves these tiles. The red you see will be covered with a 5" shelf the whole length of the tub.

First floor bath with walk-in shower so when I'm too old to lift up my feet I can just shuffle in!

Anne to the Rescue!

Thanks to Anne we were able to pick out some paint colors for the old part of the house so the painters could start getting some color on the walls. While  I can easily pick colors for one room, choosing for  the whole house has been quite overwhelming! 

We've also gotten some great design ideas for the kitchen, including some miniature mock-ups!

check out these kitchen layouts………to scale no less! 

Absolutely amazing!

Concrete floor!

One of our big design decisions was what floor covering to use in the main house. While I've always been a fan of wide plank wood floors Richard thought polished concrete might look really nice, along with a wood ceiling, and I agree so here we go!

 This is the radiant tubing going down before the re-bar and the concrete, I'm really looking forward to being able to walk barefoot!

 Pouring the concrete! Cool…... and messy.

The guys were here well into the night making it perfectly smooth. Great job!
