The house is finally painted! After deliberating for, literally, months, we finally decided on the following color scheme: Thistle grey (almost a tan) for the body, nilla vanilla (white) for the trim, and beetroot (deep merlot-color) for accenting (the peak above the garage and the front door). It turned out just like we'd hoped. To top it all off, for Michele's birthday this year, Mom and Art made a porch swing. It is the perfect touch to the "coming-soon" front entry. As I type this, the front patio and walkway are being formed up for concrete to be poured this next week. Yea!
The breakfast bar is finally grouted! We ran out of grout when we grouted the rest of the kitchen tile, so we've been using the bar ungrouted. Well, by the time we got around to doing it, Jesse didn't like his tile job anymore. So, one night Michele got home from a church meeting to find the kitchen all up in a mess and the tile removed from the bar. Within short order, Jesse had re-tiled, adding the cream tiles and creating a masterpiece! It looks great. I got lucky to marry such a talented guy!
Okay, now here is another masterpiece! Our walk-in closet is to die for! All four walls are covered in shelves, shoe racks, clothes rods, and lots of storage. Designed and built by the MAN himself, this is truly a "Michele is spoiled for life" closet. I won't ever be able to use a "normal" closet again. Just look at my shoe rack, would you? Okay, so it's a lot of shoe rack, but I have a lot of shoes, so I need a lot of shoerack. *Smiles*
Our master bathroom was something we spent a lot of time designing. We wanted our master suite to be a sanctuary and it is! This week we got the tub and shower grouted and it's great to have another fully functioning bathroom!
