Five days until we move in, but 3 days until inspection to get the certificate of occupancy. Stuff is flying now.
Paint
The painter worked all weekend priming and painting the 1st floor ceiling. Today the real fun began - color! Our first floor colors are inspired by Restoration Hardware, but executed by Valspar. Contrary to how it may sound, we did not choose the colors based on the names.
 |
| The fireplace is painted in Chocolate. The walls are not painted yet, but will be Latte, see picture below. |
 |
| More Chocolate in the den. |
 |
| And more Chocolate in the powder room. There is a sample board of metallic paint - but not sure that's worth $400 to us. $40 maybe, $400 no. |
 |
| Latte in the hallways and stairwell. Seriously, no tasting my walls. |
Plumbing
Work on all-things-water continues. The fridge and dishwasher went in as well as many of the plumbing fixtures. The tub continues, but that one is going to take a little time.
 |
| Backsplash crisis officially averted, the master faucets are in! Might I remind you, these puppies cost $627 new. We just spent our allowance based on Home Depot standards. |
 |
| Free toilet! A barely used Kohler Welworth from Anoka. Super clean and super free. |
 |
| The Kohler Simplice - same as the one we installed at the house we are moving out of. We love it, glad we ended up with 2 of them! |
 |
| Shower door installed! Tricky to actually photograph... |
Grading
Rain would make the biggest mess right now. Although, this is a big improvement from the gravel pile we had before.
 |
| Perfectly ground coffee for a lawn - it's like my dreams have come true. (It's actually dirt.) |
 |
| Slope is now in the right direction. Time to dig it up and do some landscaping! |
