Cliff and I had a great time at the coast last weekend. Cliff did what he loves to do, worked. The weather was beautiful, a bit windy on Saturday, but there were no complaints from us. But the best thing about the weekend was getting some of the finish items installed.

The first is our range hood. We waited until it had to go up because we didn't want to take any chances that it might get damaged. Our next step it getting the crown molding up and you'll see from the pictures that the crown will go right to the range hood.


The other thing finished is the fixtures in the guest shower/bath. I bought a curved shower curtain rod today so that will be installed on the next trip and we will have a guest shower!

It really was a lovely weekend so I can't resist posting a picture of (what else) the ocean!

And the last thing is we are so glad that we have a wood burning stove! We planned to make pancakes for breakfast on Sunday morning but the propane camp stove wasn't cooperating and wouldn't light. (It wasn't getting propane). So we just switched to the wood burning stove. That thing sure came in handy!

Next up is installing doors, crown and baseboards. I'll keep you updated!

Finished Floors!

Yes, that's right, our floors are finished! We hired a contractor to go up to the coast and put down the travertine tile upstairs and on the patio (Cliff did the downstairs himself a couple of years ago). They also finished the travertine tile in the guest shower.

We have also had some more painting done. Once crown molding, baseboards and bead board wainscot are in the remaining painting will be done.

So on to some pictures....the great room...
the kitchen...

the laundry room...
the patio...
That's all for now (as if all that tile isn't enough!)
Thanks for looking :)
