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.

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.

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.

plumbing and finishes

The bathroom fixtures and fittings are going in throughout the house.







The top floor bathroom has it's shower fittings, toilet, and medicine cabinet in.



The master bath shower fittings are in as well.






The floors have all been sanded at the top floor of the townhouse and the storage closet is even getting its first few coats of stain.






Here is what are window grilles will most likely look like. They are on every floor at the front of the house.


The sprinkler line has also been connected at the house. A huge contraption for such a tiny mechanical room!

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.

stone slab and stone tile work

As millwork is installed and paint goes up the stone slabs are being installed along with the last of the stone tile work.

Here you can see the slab at one of the third floor bathrooms.

This is the top floor bar (the upper cabinets will have doors on them) with the absolute black slab countertop and backsplash installed.

The family room fireplace has all of it's slate stone tile up. Next the hearth slab will be installed.

More interior photos to follow on Thursday!
