Sprint to the Finish

A week ago I was worried we wouldn't finish in time to move in on April 8.  The movers are scheduled to show up bright and early that day.  But after a visit to the house this weekend my confidence level is back up.  Goni and his team have just under 3 weeks to get everything across the finish line.  And it feels like it will happen (barring any unforeseen catastrophes).

Garett and Ryan check out the new front door.  I love the new house number etched in glass above the door.

 We need to decide on the color for the front door.  We're debating between "Down Pipe" (first column, last color) and "Railings" (second column, 3rd color) -  both are Farrow & Ball.

 

In the entry we are going to paint the ceiling "Dash of Soot" from Little Greene.  I'm going for a gloss finish to reflect the light.

 

 

Here is Mario at work painting the reception/living room.  This guy has painted the entire house by himself!

 

This is the view from the entry into the kitchen (powder room is on the left).

 

The staircase is looking beautiful again.  We're painting the treads, risers and spindles "Off Black" by Farrow & Ball.  The railing will retain its mahogany color.

 The TV room is finished.  It will be cozy!  Paint color is Little Greene "French Grey Dark".

 

Ryan can't wait to get into his loft bed.  It turned out amazing!  All he needs now is a ladder...

 

The kitchen is looking good.  The granite and the new backsplash (white chevron tile) are both installed.

 

We used cement tile in the utility room.  Goni thought the tile was too nice for a space that no one will see, but I like it.  Garett ordered the washer and dryer today.  They will sit under the granite counter.

The wood partitions are ready to be installed in the back garden.  These will give us more privacy and bring a modern, finished look to the space.

This week the back doors and windows will also be installed.  Should look great when they're in. More pictures next week...
