****This post was done last week but this week, I have a very sad announcement, it is with a heavy heart that to tell you that our builder, Nathan Cameron, a talented and passionate visionary and\u00a0 all around wonderful person passed away this week. We are all still reeling from the shock. His team has been outstanding in reaching out to us and this is a testament to the person he was and how he treated them. <\/em><\/p>\n

We loved his passion and that was precisely what drew us to him to begin with, it was contagious. I am very sad he didn’t get to see our home done, as we were just getting to the fun part and had fun sharing Pinterest pictures. . He was so excited to work with us on all the details and it’s hard to believe he won’t be around to see it completed. But behind every great builder is a talented and equally able team and his is among the best we have seen so we are completely confident they will carry out his vision to the last detail.
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

This house will forever be a tribute to Nathan Cameron doing what he did and loved best, building beautiful homes. Palmetto Bluff has lost a great one, but his legacy will continue and his company will continue to work hard to continue to create beautiful and elegant homes just like he would have wanted them to. <\/em><\/p>\n

This post is dedicated to his memory and to his family (both immediate and his “company family”) who are mourning his loss. They lost a family member and we lost not only our builder but someone we considered a friend. Rest in peace, Nathan

Good morning friends….so here I am with Chapter 19 if you can believe it. Things are really starting to chug along and I must say its really exciting to watch it turn into a home, slowly but surely. Words cannot express how exciting it was to be there about 2 weeks ago and see it in person. It’s a real home! We just love it and love the facade and roof color..it has a great feel and layout. Here is the latest-<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Pretty pretty!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Big deck overlooking water<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Front roof going on<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Our future bedroom<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Walking down the front stairs, love this big window<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Great room<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Study<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Love the pierced chimney detail, it’s all in the details<\/p>\n

So this is where to me, the fun begins. I have just completed all my selections for the baths which was a lot of fun with a few hiccups along the way. I knew what I wanted and knew that if I kept looking I would find it. Some things required a huge lead time which we did not have and others were prohibitively expensive. All that said, most marble mosaics and water jets have come down dramatically in price since I did this almost 8 years ago, can’t believe it’s been that long.<\/p>\n

For me I wanted marble\/natural stone in every bath. We have it here in our NY home and I never have for one second regretted that decision. It is beautiful and so timeless, really stands the test of time and is virtually no maintenance. I never quite understood people who fret over wondering if it will hold up. Go to Europe, go to restaurants, church steps, 300 year old buildings and that will probably answer any doubts you might have. Truly there is nothing in my eyes, as beautiful as marble.<\/p>\n

Lucky for you I have scoured the country to find the best selections, most reputable suppliers at the best prices.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Powder room- <\/strong>This is the flooring above, a lantern. mosaic in honed white carerra
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And above is the vanity we are doing in the powder room<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Back powder room- <\/strong>Big fan of herringbone and how classic it is, so did a honed carerra herringbone floor with a white pedastal sink
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

My bath- <\/strong>looked and looked and looked. I knew it when I finally found “the one”. I want it to feel very spa like and think I am on my way
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And here it is!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And here is what I chose, love this pattern, feminine, light and airy<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Husbands bath- <\/strong>This is such a pretty slightly masculine stone, next to mahogany cabinetry it will be a timeless masculine bath.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Upstairs ((kids baths) <\/strong>Wanted them to all feel light and airy,\u00a0 like the rest of the house so did classic designs, nothing trendy
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This bathroom above\u00a0 will get a navy vanity<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This one above\u00a0 will get a pale gray vanity-<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This one above\u00a0 gets a white vanity<\/p>\n

Guest bath<\/strong>–\u00a0 Did a Calcutta 1 x 8 herringbone floor with a pretty white vanity<\/p>\n
