The drywall installation wrapped up this week and it was Absolutely Amazing to walk in and see all the walls with drywall. The floors were covered with paper getting ready for the taping & mudding next week so it looked crazy clean in there too! Spencer and I visited on Saturday and had so much fun checking out each room. We also ran some errands including heading to Home Depot for some tools to take off the plumbing fixtures on our bathtub and to Sherwin Williams to check out different paint sheens. Surprisingly, Sherwin Williams has a great little coloring table for kids to sit at – perfect for Spencer!
- Spencer had a ton of fun walking around the house with me on Saturday. He was my buddy today running errands and being a great helper.
- The back wall of the great room definitely steals the show in this room!
- The fireplace is definitely the focal point of the north wall in the great room. There will be a TV to the left of it in the bump-in area.
- A view back looking at the front door & dining room.
- Hands down my favorite ceiling in the house is in the dining room. Now…when are they going to arch off the drywall that’s covering the top window?
- Sort of a random viewpoint – it’s looking up between the great room on the right and the kitchen on the left. The faux beams run right into each other!
- The drywall really sets off the coffered ceiling in the kitchen. The windows look fantastic in here too!
- The built-in bench area in the office has to be one of my favorite spots in the house.
- The lower half of the drywall in the bathrooms are covered with a special coating to resist moisture and mold.
- Spence was so excited that his closet was opened up again (last week the drywall crew left their tools in here and boarded it up).
- Here’s the windows in the guest room.
- Joel is so pumped at how his bar area is turning out – initially we wanted it fully open to the staircase, but it just didn’t work out as planned. This gives us more space for upper cabinets though…which is great!
- Up for next week…mudding & taping!
