stone and wood

Interior finishes continue to progress in the townhouse. Look at that walnut column! It's only out for a photo op but it should be installed permanently in another month. You can also see the operable paneled ceiling and mechanical equipment above.

Our dining room plaster ceiling medallion has also arrived on site. This is only half of the oval but you can see it's quite lovely.

The front door is on site and ready to be installed along with it's surround and decorative panels and trim.

The stone slabs are all installed in the kitchen. Next come appliances.

His and her master bath stone slab vanity tops are also in. The veining is so spectacular.

The master bedroom fireplace surround and hearth are going in today. The blue color and the veins are even better in person.

tile, paint, and doors

The townhouse continues to look a little more finished every week! This week we saw the completion of some bathroom wall tile and some movable paint samples to carry though the house to try in different rooms and lighting.





We've also just about finished our stucco color selection for the brownstone facade. One more go-round and we should have it right. Below you can see the original house color as well as an earlier, lighter option and a darker more likely final choice.

Framing and GWB is just about complete on the garden floor. The new Marvin bi-fold doors also just got installed

How amazing do they look? There are only two more windows in the mechanical room to be installed. Early next week the travertine floor will be put down on the garden level. Kitchen cabinets shouldn't be too far after that.

new doors and floors

Last week our concrete slab at the garden level floor was poured. What a difference to walk downstairs and see concrete.

We also had all of our doors delivered last week. At 7'-6" tall and usually 3'-0" wide they are truly stunning. Here is a pair of doors that will get installed on the parlor floor.

Work also continues on the parlor floor stair opening which looks down to the kitchen on the garden floor.

Next week a whole team of sheetrockers are scheduled to close the rest of the walls up throughout the townhouse. This means no more visible plumbing in the bathrooms and much more running millwork and trim up in the house.

In preparation the team has added firestopping at all floors around the pipe runs. It's going to be great to see these walls closed up.

An un-glamorous but very important shot of the firestopping.
