Potties, puzzles and puppies

It's a little sad how excited I was to buy toilets, but we now have the three that we need for final.

This is the cool rock that they got in Montana for the fireplace surround. My job is to draw the fireplace on the floor and piece the rocks in a pleasing manner before adhering them to the walls. :-)

And finally, Indie sprawled out in her favorite place in the kitchen.  Dreaming of flying, it appears...

Kitchen faucet

Why, yes, that IS a working faucet in my kitchen... thank you very much!

Stormy weather

Enjoying a morning cup of coffee with my love in front of a non-crackling fire before work.  Listening to the thunder and rain outside. What an awesome way to start the day... 
Tom is going to pick up more stone for the fireplace surround this weekend. I just can't seem to get a decent picture of this beautiful granite. 

And finally, Indie seems to be adapting nicely to life with the Browns.  She's so stinkin' sweet!

Granite & coffee

We enjoyed our first cup of coffee on the new countertops the other day.  The coffee cup seems to say it all...


Tom has been working on the plumbing. We now have working faucets in the girls' bathroom and a functioning dishwasher. The washer and dryer have been working for a couple weeks now. The immediate goal is to get plumbing and electrical done so we can get those final inspections. The kitchen and laundry faucets will be here this week.

Granite & puppy

The neighbors came over tonight.  Indie stayed awake as long as she could but she's still a puppy and needs her sleep. I suppose she found as good a place as any for a nap...

Daily granite shot

Tom installed the girls' space-age sink faucets last night. Pretty cool and goes really well with the countertop, in my opinion.  Can't wait to get the lights installed in here. A Craigslist find from many years ago that go perfectly with this style.  Stay tuned!

Granite. Again...

There are no words to express my happiness...





GRANITE!!!!!!!!!!

I went to work for a few hours and came home to this!
Kitchen:




Dining room buffet:

Living room hearth:

Laundry room:


Girls' bath:



Master bath:



Tile and shower pan

I finished the last of the tile in the entryway this morning. Tomorrow we grout!
Oh, and I took these pics: 

for Tom when he figures out how to make my incredibly beautiful old STEAM radiator work.


After some discussion of how to do the shower in the guest bathroom.... Behold! The world's second smallest shower!
The shower in the master bath of the mobile still wins for smallest... :)  this will be the curb size. We will have to have custom doors made, but it will be worth it to get a few inches more of shower space. Still need to pour the floor and curb, then get the waterproof membrane. 
Now to decide what tile to do on the walls and floor...
