Good Tuesday morning! I cannot believe we are on chapter 34. I love that you have been with me every step of the way from the first post where I announced we purchased land in PB.\u00a0 And now,\u00a0 here we are approaching the final home stretch. I was there last week and had such an amazing few days. First the weather was a perfect “10”, high 70’s, breezy and sunny…it does not get any better. We got around mostly on bike (went with a very good friend) and it was so hard to leave, I must admit. Only thing I didn’t love was coming home with a zillion bug bites…..<\/p>\n

The highlight was getting the “crown jewel” delivered and installed and that would be my incredible magnificent hood. It was the hood of my dreams and watching it cone to life was one of the all time highlights of this entire building experience.<\/p>\n

On top of that, getting to meet Cindy Mullen, the “countess of hoods” as I affectionately call her of\u00a0 Classic Custom Metal Works<\/em><\/span><\/a> <\/strong>with two of her closest friends (and incidentally long time followers of The Enchanted home) was a huge huge perk. They were so lovely and warm, and we had such a great afternoon together. A definite highlight of this entire experience.<\/p>\n

So as I always do I share the latest with you, there is normally a subject to discuss after but as there are so many progress pics, this is all about progress today. I will be back in a week or two with even more progress because right now things are going fast and furiously. Without further ado, here we go-<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

_____________<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Absolutely LOVE the floor, it was the\u00a0 perfect color,\u00a0 we held our breath until it was done:)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Back stair\/entry….dirty but still pretty!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The hardware for the doors is stunning looks like unlacquered brass which I love<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Exciting to see my bathroom room, installed the molding for the partitioned mirror panel above sink<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Kitchen and some bath hardware was starting to get installed<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The pantry getting the finished moldings done, just love the pale blue lacaquer, so happy I did this<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The marble we were so lucky to find,\u00a0 was one of the prettiest slabs of Calcutta Gold I have seen in a long time, really liking this thick simple edge<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Had fun starting to play with hardware<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Some of the ones I selected-<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The back patio is basically done, waiting on our fans and furniture (and my planters)!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The shiplac has been painted, we used Sherwin William’s Alabaster, this is a really great color<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The main stair just waiting on the railing, love the late day sun effect<\/p>\n

“The hood”<\/span><\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Even watching it get uncrated was exciting!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I could already see this was a sheer work of art<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ta dah! And what a beauty she is!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The next day after the installation, seeing it up was incredibly thrilling<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Surpassed my expectations in every way….most definitely my “dream hood”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The quality, attention to detail is superb thanks to Classic Custom Metal Works!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And one of Cindy’s friends, Cecilia (also a reader\/customer) who was so thoughtful and talented,\u00a0 made this beautiful watercolor for me as a memento of this exciting day-<\/p>\n

Lots of good things happening over there, it’s been a experience doing this from afar, though we were hoping to be in late 2017, all good things come to those who wait, right? With luck it will be a wrap late March, that is the plan at least for now. Crossing my fingers. It was such fun to see everything in person and seeing that hood still has me smiling:)\u00a0 Thanks for following along, until next time…..<\/p>\n
