It has been an exciting week with many of the plumbing and light fixtures installed. I had a hard time capturing good photos because there is still a lot being done and many of the granite surfaces and other fun things are covered. I purchased all of the lighting sight unseen, so I was a bit apprehensive about how it would look in the space. But I think that everything looks terrific.
The house has all come out a bit more fancy than I originally envisioned, but I have discovered that my taste is more ornate than I thought. There are times though when I have sleek envy. Straight lines. Clean smooth surfaces. Stark white walls. Chrome. It is just not meant to be for me right now. Although I admire a more modern metropolitan look, I seem to just be drawn to ye oldy worldy decor. It is probably from having parents that collected antiques in the 70s, way before it was cool.

Front porch is coming together with beautiful pine ceiling, stone pilars and bracketed posts
We had fun outlining the shape of the curvy front path, creating great spaces for planting!
