Good morning, everyone. Hope you\u2019re having a great week so far. I thought this would be a good time for a renovations diary post to fill you in on the latest and greatest. I can\u2019t say it\u2019s anything terribly glamorous just yet, but I do feel like we are ever so slowly approaching the fun stage, where we get to start making lots and lots of selections.<\/p>\n

In fact, those decisions are starting to come fast and furiously, so I plan to devote a good chunk of time over the next few weeks to finalizing things like bathroom floors, cabinetry, and more. Our kitchen and pantry are done, which I am very excited about. They are officially in the works and should be ready in August, with installation likely happening sometime in September or October, depending on where we are in the process at that point.<\/p>\n

I am also awaiting my Delft tile sample box from Amsterdam, which I cannot wait to receive. The roughing stage is finally in the homestretch and should be wrapped up in about a week or so. I also pretty much am sold on the paint sample we got back for the pantry (below) which is very pretty.<\/p>\n

I think the most exciting news is that the front portico is well underway. The framing and steel beams are in place. Of course, the finishing touches, like the roof, detailing, window, and those beautiful columns, are really going to be the crown jewel of the center entrance, but it is happening, and that is very exciting.<\/p>\n

We also have a small pool house that is well underway, and I have started pulling together ideas for that space too.<\/p>\n

So enough of my talking, let me show you what\u2019s going on.<\/p>\n

So here is the interior of the pool house, it looks pretty big here. Its not huge but its going to be a fun space with one central room and then a small bar\/kitchen, bathroom and changing room (plus a utility room)<\/p>\n

Below is the small kitchen space- we will just run cabinets on the back wall<\/p>\n

A simple idea of what it may look like-<\/p>\n

Somewhat of a loose vision, not sure whether we will make it feel dressier with “real furniture \u00a0or more patio\/wicker furniture<\/p>\n
