window guards and wood work

Window guards for the house will be made soon. We have narrowed it down to two options.





The walnut columns have also arrived on site and they are truly amazing.


Look at the size of the library fire place! It stands about 5'-6" tall and will be painted and installed once the stone hearth and surround are installed.

details and finishes

Many of the little things are starting to come together at the townhouse. The finishes and details are starting to make the place feel like a home.


The niche is finished and trimmed at the entryway.





The millwork in the library is almost completely painted.





The kitchen countertops are all being fabricated and we've chosen our last stone for the house which will go in two bathrooms and the laundry room.



The majority of the door hardware is installed.

The final trim and molding details are going up.

The ipe deck on the top floor is just about finished.

Can you believe that there are even area rugs that have been delivered to the house?

millwork and paint

The whole townhouse is almost completely painted now. When you enter the parlor floor it really feels like a home.







More cabinets have also been installed on the garden floor and the master bedroom floor. The walnut island and hvac cabinets are partially installed.




His and hers vanities are in place as well.





And last but not least, our partial wrought iron fence sample for the front of the house.

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.

kitchen installation

The kitchen arrived on site last Friday and it will be installed over the next week or so.




The cabinets arrive on site primed white but they will be hand painted a warm off-white color which will pull from our travertine floor.

The parlor floor wood floor should also be completed in another week

How beautiful is the simple border strip? And of course, since the stair was uncovered, I had to take some photos of it...

The master bathroom stone tiling continues to be amazing. Here's a shot of her shower.

While I was on site today they laid the very first ipe board at the rear garden deck.

Here are three very bold vibrant color options for one of the top floor rooms.

And just for fun... What the site looked like one year ago today!


No walls, no floors, and the old, recycled stair.

No roof and no doors! We've come a long way.

goodbye scaffolding

Almost all of the scaffolding has been removed from the front of the townhouse. The one remaining piece will come down early next week. It's so nice to finally see the new color next to the two existing houses.





Inside the house finish work is progressing quickly.



Our boiler has been installed...


... and plumbing fixtures are arriving on site for installation. Some of the library millwork is also on site and in place.




These have been shop primed and will be hand painted on site. Speaking of paint, we have some colors up on the top two floors. This will eventually be a child's bedroom.



Stone and tile work also continues in the master baths. Here you can see the 3x6 spring white stone tiles that just got put on the walls. Our tile guy is seriously amazing.





Soon they will also install the ipe deck at the rear garden. This is one of the purchased footings that 2x4s will sit on. Then, on top of that is the ipe.
