too tired to think of a title for this post...

...maybe you can think of one for me?!

so here are a bunch of progress photos (in no particular order)


KITCHEN: finished installing and grouting the backsplash tile

BATH1: Finished installing and grouting the bath surround tile

installed the fixtures: toilet and vanity

love the sink- got it at lowe's

BATH2: tile installed and grouted...door installed...toilet and vanity too!

DINING ROOM: engineered floating click-lock oak flooring is getting installed (as i write this post)

the nice people from lowe's came to the house today to move the fridge from the garage to its final resting spot!

Slate floor at entry foyer and first floor bath is installed, sealed and grouted.  just needs one more coat of sealer (3 total).  I love the aluminum transition strip that we have installed between the slate and wood.

BASEMENT: flooring was installed.  It is resilient vinyl plank flooring.

it's a little dusty!  we also installed the oak "pole wraps" over the lally columns.


and last but not least...
BASEMENT: brick veneer wall (what did she say?)  yes,  brick. veneer. wall.

It is real brick, just 3/8" thick. 

still dont know if we are just crazy for doing this!

treads, tile and trim

we picked up some pine treads for the new basement stair...and mom stained them to match the "teak" resilient flooring that we bought for the basement.

we used a minwax stain with polyurethane in a satin finish.

this is as far as i got with the slate...when i ran out of tiles!

so i started to install the mosaic backsplash

meanwhile, scott continues to install trim on the 2nd floor...
