Oak Doors & Trim, Marble Caps & Floor

We met with the builder at the house today. Afterward I took pictures while Marlene tested exterior paint colors. The trim is mostly installed now, including the railing by the stairs.

The oak, 2-panel doors are mostly installed also. The only doors not installed are those that were not delivered by the lumber yard.

Also the marble caps were installed on the shower threshold and the tub half-wall.

And speaking of marble, my office tile was laid and grouted.

Marlene bought a couple samples of exterior paint to try on the siding. We chose the darker of the two.

And this is what the front of the house looks like. Still no front door or porch columns.

Bedroom & Bath Tile Laid

We went back on Sunday to check out the beautiful bathroom tile and take pictures. Marlene had picked out all these different tiles and the listello and it all looked fine to me. However, I was not prepared for how beautiful it looked when it was actually installed in the room. I was astonished.

The bedrooms were tiled but not grouted yet.

The oak trim is installed on the half-wall at the top of the stairs and going down. It looked better than I was expecting.

My office was not tiled yet. Marlene had laid out the tile in a pleasing arrangement taking into consideration the amount of white veins in the black marble.

Not only was there progress this week, but the tile looked better than I anticipated. How nice!
