moved in and getting settled

Thanks so much for following construction of the townhouse. It's been a great project!

stair rail and floors

Our stair railing is just about all installed and the floors throughout the house have all been stained.

Stairs and Rails:

Floors:

The rear garden is complete.

Lighting fixtures are going up throughout the house as well.

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.

stone slabs

Work on the townhouse continues despite the crumby weather.



Our kitchen countertops are fabricated and on site. The veining and the colors are absolutely amazing. The stone is a quartzite which means that it is very hard and much more stain resistant than marble.

The master bathroom medicine cabinets are installed and the stone slabs for these rooms will be installed soon as well.

The laundry room millwork is installed too. Look at all that storage!

Soon, we hope to have the rear garden fences built. Here is a little section of the ipe that was put up.

more interior work

The interior of the townhouse continues to progress. Here is a view of the parlor floor foyer all framed out with it's door hung.


The library has all of it's full height millwork installed. The fireplace awaits its mantel and sheet rock.

The garden floor millwork is partially installed. Her you can see a built in desk and the bar cabinet.

The two main rooms on the master bedroom floor both have paint colors up. Here is the sitting room...

... and here is the master bedroom itself.

The master dressing room millwork has also been installed. Look at those shoe drawers towards the door!

The stair risers are also getting their first coat of primer.

Outside the ipe deck has been laid at the rear garden. Plants and debris still need to be removed.

The newly repaired gas line is also in. This means we're not far away from our boiler running.
