Final Touches

Here are the pictures from the last couple weeks. The most recent were taken just yeterday (Sunday).

This is a quick shot of the cooktop in place. This is the last built-in appliance to be put in place.

This picture shows the front of the house before the trim paint was completed.

And the front of the house after trim coat has been applied. You can also see the stonework.

And here are some pics of the wall in front of the driveway. Still in progress, it will be finished with the same stonework that is on the front of the house.

The final touches are so detailed, it is hard to remember what things looked like before. I can't wait till I get to see it in person. Mom, if I could, I'd come down and help paint. I know that will take a while to do! Let me know, maybe I can come down for a Saturday night - Tuesday trip.

Mom says everything looks gorgeous and that she is off work Feb 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15. Saturday - Wednesday. I'll be in NY during part of that time...

Andrea says: it all looks so good - is the carpet in the great room the same as the carpet in your bedroom? And that shower looks very cool. So if you need me to hang out with Duchess some weekend...
