Almost Done

We’re almost done! Just a few more finishing touches remain.

Sneak Peak

We’re close to the end! We’ll have more before and after photos really soon, but here’s a sneak peak of what’s to come.

Granite Countertops

We installed black/green colored granite for the countertops.

Exterior Paint

The original cedar siding was painted “Turkish coffee” brown, the trim is a creamy white, and the windows are Roycroft red. We also added the three brackets to the front of the house.

 

Kitchen Cabinets

The cabinets were installed last night. They are a shaker style with a medium stain. The kitchen has an open floor plan with a bar area, so it should be really nice for entertaining.

 

Electrical

The electrical fixtures have been installed. We went with ceiling fans in each bedroom, mini halogens in the kitchen, wall sconces in the bathrooms, and a chandelier in the dining room.

 

Priming Time

The interior of the house was prepped and primed!

 

The Floors are Beautiful

After 90 years the original heart pine floors are still amazing! After sanding our refinisher looked at the wood and said “These old floors are 1,000 times better than new floors.”  He is a man who knows what he is talking about. Unfortunatly, in a couple rooms we had to replace the floor because it had been damaged over the years.  We went back with pine, but in order to make the color match we had to mix some stains. It should be close.

 

Craftsman Trim

The trim is done, and it looks fantastic!! We have built-in benches by the fireplace, columns and bookcases between the living room/dining room, plate rail in the dining room, and a recessed door to the second bathroom. Also note the bricks in the fireplace have been repointed.

 

Craftsman Trim

The trim and coffered ceilings are going in! We opted for the traditional Craftsman style molding for the windows and doors. The living room and dining room have coffered ceilings.
