Renovation news, mid-December

Oh, there is SO MUCH news about the renovation!

LOOK AT THAT BEAUTIFUL ALCOVE TUB. I’m so excited I could pop. The first night we’re in the house, I am so having a soak in that tub. With the drywall up we finally have a clear idea of the space available in the room, and it is scrumptious. As is the light.

And here is the white subway tile that will surround the bath. I have always admired white subway tile… so clean and chic, and not plain old white squares. Hooray!

By the way… I decided to go with the Foxglove pink paint, in this bathroom. There will be so little wall exposed, between the tub surround and the fixtures and the window and the wardrobe, that I think it will not be overwhelming. Also, I promise that in real life it’s less Pepto-Bismol-like than the mockup I posted previously.

And here is the kitchen, also with drywall! This room is so big, and will be so, so beautiful when it’s finished. White walls, white cabinets, glass fronts, sandy white countertops, and the floor…

The floor will be the ocean of this island paradise. We have the floor tiles for the kitchen and the master and guest bathrooms, and it goes in starting on Monday. After that, the cabinets and fixtures get installed and the hardwood ash floor goes in to the rest of the house.

And at that point we can schedule the move.

Can you tell I’m excited?
