Light Fixtures

The light fixtures are starting to go up.  So fun to watch stuff come together! 

The one below was in Sara's Mom's stairwell. She replaced it with a fan and put the fixture in the Garage.  We snatched it up, Dom's Dad gave it a new coat of paint, and it's good as new!

Ripping Out the Old and Pouring New Concrete

There was a lot of concrete to dig up and re-pour.  Mikey took out our entire garage slab, side walks, and back stairs.  Here are some photos.

Tile and Grout

We stopped by the house after work on Thursday to take a look at the progress and check out some grout samples. I had no idea there were so many different colors of grout to choose from.  It was awesome to see the bathrooms coming together.  We haven't seen some of these materials since we picked them out months ago.  Hey look! We have a faucet!

I love these Carrera Marble tiles for the kitchen

Master Shower Tile Accent - Green Glass Subway


Photo of us attempting to choose a backsplash for the master bath. I think we are going to try to find more of the counter slab and use the same material.  We didn't love these two options (floor tile and shower tile).  The green glass accent did not look right either.

Building the Deck

Construction on the deck has begun! I cannot wait to grill and have a glass of wine out here, once it is complete. We have a fantastic view of the city and West hills, plus plenty of privacy in the summer with the tree cover.  We ended up going with wood vs a composite material. We are still trying to choose a deck rail - thinking metal or cable.  Looking great so far!
