Photo dump

I have been remiss in updating the blog. I've been caulking trim for pretty much the last 36 hours straight (with a brief break for sleeping), so I'm almost completely brain-dead and to be honest typing hurts because my hands are falling apart. All that whining aside, the house is looking AMAZING. I am going to let the photos tell the tale so I can get back to picking caulk out of my hair.

CARPET IS IN! This carpet is amazing - the day they installed it there was a mild odor, but by the next day it was completely unnoticeable - hooray for no-VOC all-wool eco-geekery.



BANISTERS ARE IN!




ISLAND COUNTER AND BEADBOARD IS DONE!





WE GOT THE TEMPORARY CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY TODAY! We are going to move a few things over the weekend, but the MOVE move will probably be mid-next week, since there is still some work to be done and we don't want all our shtuff in the way.

    Wow, it looks amazing! Sorry if I missed it in a previous post, but what brand is the carpet and where did you get it?

    Oh - My - Freaking - Goodness!!!!!

    I imagine once the crying jags stop you will just walk around with a silly grin on your face saying "wow" every so often.

    Kelly, the carpet is called Earth Weave, and we got it at a place in Ann Arbor called BGreen. Here is a link:

    We got the Rainier in the color 'Granite.' We ended up going over budget on this selection, but decided it was worth it (and so far we're really happy with it!).
