Hello. Hope you are doing well. Feel like I haven’t’ done a reno update in a while…but things are chugging along!<\/p>\n

I would say the last five to six months have probably been the least exciting and least glamorous part of this renovation, simply because so much of the work has been behind the scenes. It\u2019s been all about the guts of the house\u2014plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and all of the things that aren\u2019t especially exciting to look at but are so essential.<\/p>\n

Only over the last couple of months has the house really started to take shape with insulation and sheetrock. The entire house is now officially sheet rocked, which feels like a major milestone and a very exciting turning point. Window casings are now being installed throughout the house, and I\u2019m at the point where I need to start making some fairly quick decisions on all of the bathroom materials, which is exactly what I\u2019m working on now.<\/p>\n

One of the things I\u2019m most excited about is that our front portico columns have finally arrived! They\u2019ll be installed sometime next week, and once they\u2019re in place, the remainder of the fa\u00e7ade and roof can finally be completed.<\/p>\n

A lot of people ask when we expect to move in. For a while, everyone was saying December, but I\u2019m mentally preparing for January. If it happens sooner, it will\u00a0 be a wonderful surprise. Anyway, here\u2019s the latest…..<\/p>\n

The reeded flat columns have been added to the facade of the house (there are 2 more) then the coulumns will soon be placed where the metal beams are<\/p>\n

And we have window casings!<\/p>\n

Our carpentry guys are great, we are keeping as much of the original moldings and they are replacing panels where they need to<\/p>\n

Staircase sheetrock just about done!<\/p>\n

The original delft file on fireplace in family room…debating to swap them out to blues and whites.<\/p>\n

Our storage room of the doors we are keeping. The corner niche is original and will remain, I love it.<\/p>\n

Have you ever just fallen madly in love with a fabric or textile and knew you had to have it? Well, that’s what happened with this fabric. It was love at first sight. I am waiting on the sample but feel confident I will love it as much when it arrives. I am thinking this just may be the starting point that I didn’t know I needed for the\u00a0 master bedroom. Just love love love these colors and the pattern.<\/p>\n

We have been busy working with Regts out of Amsterdam on the delft tiles i will use for the kitchen and pabtry. I cannot tell you how wonder they. have been to work with (and super patient) sending me many renderings and options) This week I pull the trigger on the tiles.

The world of stone and marble has grown unbelievably..its actually overwhelming. Thankfully I. know what I love and am able to hone right in on what I love and I found so many beautiful choices. Many of these, are definite and with luck you will see them in some of our bathrooms down the road.<\/p>\n
