stone work and exteriors

Over the last few days more stone and tile work has been completed.





The backsplash has gone in at the kitchen and the entry foyer floor has been put down.

The glass shower doors have also been installed in one of the master bathrooms.


All exterior ipe work is just about complete. Here is the upper ipe fence that shields the mechanical units from view.

The areaway fence has also been installed. Next are the railings that lead down the stairs.

nearing completion

The house is clean, and empty, and ready for wood floor staining!

They've started from the top floor down- here is the roof room and the first run of stairs.

The last pieces of stone slab are getting installed- here is the library fireplace.

One of the last pieces of millwork is getting installed at the garden floor entry way. There will be a mirror and a bench behind that piece of plywood.

Our last recessed lights are going in at the family room.

The rear yard ipe fences are getting built and going up as well.

bathrooms and stone

The tub and faucets have been installed at her master bathroom!




Look at that great polished nickel finish! And that tub will be a dream to soak in. The chandelier that will be installed over it just arrived on site yesterday as well.

Vanity tops at the other bathrooms are all in as well




It's especially exciting to see this second stone as we were not that excited about the dark brown stone that originally went in. This one is perfect.

The library onyx hearth is in as well. The surround should be installed next week.


It's a little messy now but in a few days it will be stunning.

And progress throughout the rest of the house...


Walnut columns and stair rails are waiting in the library to be installed.


Our faux skylight frame is in.


The ipe deck at the top floor terrace has been completed (as has the ladder to the hvac roof above which is not visible).

Ipe wood waits to be turned into fencing.

The week after next will mark the beginning of finishing the wood floors throughout the apartment! Then things will really be coming together.

window guards

Almost all of the window guards have been installed at the house.

And here's what they look like from the inside.

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.
