Stair Pickets are HERE!

Here is the bottom of the back stair with Wes inspecting!

Back stair......WOW!

And the Main Stairs!!!!! OMG!

The Loft hallway is shown upstairs here.

This is a great view up the stairs.

More Paint

Graham's PINK room!

Bonus Room

Bonus ROom - new dormer looking toward the back yard.

Loft Dormer area, overlooking the front yard.

Dining Room with no chair rail or wainscoting.

Handsome Fireplace - Just in Time for Atlanta Climate

Well, it took some doing, but we had our herringbone firebrick installed in preparation for those (2) cozy nights we have during the winter here in Atlanta. Looks so nice and centered!

Our mantel and surround fabricator came out with a template after we looked at photos and chatted about style and scale. This is a mock-up in styrofoam. The flaps on the right indicate the depth of the piece.



...and the guys came a week early with our beautiful surround. It's carved from Texas limestone. I love it more in person than I did looking at the original pictures! Wow!

All this needs is flames, a steak dinner and plenty of wine!

The Paint

Our kitchen is now green!

Here is the Master looking into the bath.

Master overlooking the front yard (new window on the right.)

I cannot believe how much light is in there now!

Bathroom Vanities

Our new handsome Master Vanities. Suddenly my old jammies and torn-up underwear don't seem presentable here.....

Master Bathroom - a spot for each of us, same as before, only waaaaay nicer!

Graham's large vanity. Thie bathroom is in the new dormer next to the new garage.

Graham's small vanity.

She's very excited to have her own drawers to put her very own things in!

Rapley's bathroom - there is another vanity identical to this one right across from it where the closet used to be. Looking very regal!

The Floors are Going In

The Great Room will look GREAT!

Now we know how they line up the wood. Shhhh...Ancient Chinese Secret!

Great Room

Great Room laced into the old Kitchen floor. Soto's guys are magicians! No header (transition strip) needed anywhere from old floor to new. Yipee!

(Thomas Drew, our builder, said they were good!)

View from master doorway thru the Great Room, Kitchen, & Family Room, all the way to the driveway........

There's the Stairs and Rails!

The back stairs are getting a facelift that will pass inspection (unlike the original ones).

Just like a facelift, the layer of carpet gets re-installed.

The handrail on the main staircase.

The rail on the loft.....

...continues to the upstairs addition.
