Lights, camera...action?

Slowly the details are coming together. Electrical, tile, glass, painting, trim, and plumbing... One more month to go and plenty still to do. 

The electrician is almost done. It seems like we did a pretty good job picking out the lights and locations for the house. The bedrooms seem a bit dark, with just the can lights, but we have switched outlets so we can always add lamps on the nightstands or floor lamps.

 The pendant lights over the island are on a monorail track that is bent to be curved similar to the island edge. The pendants are pretty small so we added 3 spotlights for more light. 

 The front porch coach light and cans do a pretty good job lighting up the landing at night. 

 The foyer chandelier finally has bulbs! And the black slate is in and grouted. 

 
The stair lighting is pretty bright! 
The jack and jill bath has three vanity lights. The big mirrored medicine cabinets will fit between the lights. The look a bit Star Wars like to me!


 The glass shower doors were installed. Changes the look of the shower!

Kip started the railing around the top of the stairs. Square metal balusters for inside since we don't need nearly as many as outside!


The microwave, range hood and cook top are in (still need the finishing details) and most of the knobs and handles are on the cabinets.

Kip connected the solar tube. The penetration in the roof was done quite a while ago, but the tube going through the attic to the closet ceiling was the last step. It add some nice natural sunlight to the closet since there are no windows. (Although it's hard to tell since the photo was taken at night of course!)

 Some more little details like an outlet in the back of the drawer in the bathroom. 

 The laundry sink is ready to use!

  1. That outlet in the back of the bathroom drawer is genius! I have never heard of such a thing before. Looking great! - Amy
