I also rewired and put a different chain on it.

The countertop installers actually suggested using glass tile in here, otherwise I'm sure I would have used marble. I'm so glad they suggested it though - I think it turned out beautiful!https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/2016-04-28-18-57-59.jpg2016-04-28 18.57.59The shower niche was fixed in the guest shower this week too - originally it had a gray outline and now it's half white and half gray.

It's looking better than I was expecting. and I know it'll look even better with grout.https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/2016-04-14-06-52-03-2.jpg2016-04-14 06.52.03 (2)I tried a couple different colors in Spencer's Room and ended up choosing the one on the left - Languid Blue from SW.https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/2016-04-13-19-14-59.jpg2016-04-13 19.14.59The paint is still wet and glossy but it's looking great!https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/2016-04-13-19-14-44.jpg2016-04-13 19.14.44The kitchen trimwork was painted this week.

So much better than having a baby gate!https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/2016-03-26-13-33-59.jpg2016-03-26 13.33.59The painters have set up a spray booth in the storage room downstairs where they can paint doors and whatever else they have. I'm steering clear of this space though until they take down all of the plastic. A little too Dexter-esque for my liking.https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/2016-03-26-13-29-42.jpg2016-03-26 13.29.42The subway tile in the butler's pantry was also started this week. Pretty simple, but the X's are really the focal point, right? And after my mom is done decorating this space (because she's already been buying things) it's going to look fantastic.https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/2016-03-23-15-59-44.jpg2016-03-23 15.59.44Joel and I both love the colors in the mudroom tile.

It's so graphic, and not feminine like most mosaic tile patterns.

Our well filled up this tank without stopping and considering that an average family of 4 uses 200 gallons a day, should something ever happen to our well or pump, this tank will tide us over for a week while the well system is being fixed.https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/2015-11-10-11-28-15.jpg2015-11-10 11.28.15Prior to any testing, we did a 5 gallon white bucket test (yes, super scientific) and the water looks great - super clear, not cloudy or hazy, and just a tiny amount of sand which can be easily filtered out.https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/2015-11-10-11-28-46.jpg2015-11-10 11.28.46And here's the bottle of water that we had to send to the lab - totally clear.https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/pages-from-well-arsenic-treatment-design-garrison-engineering-12-2015.jpgPages from Well Arsenic Treatment Design - Garrison Engineering 12-2015Water filtration design for our well water by Carl Garrison.https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/industry-memo-nov-5th-2015-page-002.jpgIndustry Memo Nov 5th, 2015 Page 002KC Memo - Page 22016-03-28T03:09:44+00:00monthlyhttps://coastalhues.com/2016/03/20/week-41-countertops-tile/https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/2016-03-14-15-24-07.jpg2016-03-14 15.24.07This is the back of the bar and if we end up doing a full height backsplash back there it'll come off of this slab.https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/2016-03-14-15-23-56.jpg2016-03-14 15.23.56These pieces are the front and side of the bar which I placed to avoid the larger brown spot in the slab towards the top/middle of this slab. https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/2016-03-06-16-00-56.jpg2016-03-06 16.00.56Just a touch of rainbow to brighten up the sunny and rainy day!https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/2016-03-19-14-47-02.jpg2016-03-19 14.47.02The new sink base arrived and was installed in the bar this week.

It'll eventually get a light gray grout - the same color used in the boys' bathroom downstairs.https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/2016-03-19-14-43-06.jpg2016-03-19 14.43.06It's really hard to capture the countertops in this room - none of the pictures really do it justice, but you can sort of see the glass and mirror flecks in it here.2016-03-20T23:17:25+00:00monthlyhttps://coastalhues.com/2016/03/13/week-40-hardwood-doors-cabinetry-countertops/https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/2016-03-08-08-23-32.jpg2016-03-08 08.23.32The laundry room Sparkling White Quartz was on the C&C machine when I was there. It looks white here because this is the underside (and it's dirty) but really it has green glass flecks in it.https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/2016-03-08-08-21-15.jpg2016-03-08 08.21.15This slab ended up getting most of the master bath which are the top, far side, and bottom templates. The center one is actually the butler's pantry which will be unique being mostly white! https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/2016-03-08-08-21-06.jpg2016-03-08 08.21.06The big top template will be the pass through area from the kitchen to the great room. The lower piece is the left side of the farmhouse sink which is bookmatched on the next slab. The blank space in the bottom right corner will be saved for half of the fireplace hearth/bench and that strip of white in the middle of the slab will eventually be a space for the master shower bench's template.https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/2016-03-08-08-21-00.jpg2016-03-08 08.21.00The lower left piece is the right side of the farmhouse sink and is bookmatched to the previous slab. The big template on top will be the prep island.

This is Cameron's bedroom door & closet.https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/2016-03-11-13-00-19.jpg2016-03-11 13.00.19Here's the entrance to Cameron's room - the 4 chrome hinges on the 8 ft doors look great!https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/2016-03-11-12-57-46.jpg2016-03-11 12.57.46We've reordered the sink base cabinet 6" smaller - the width seems a lot better now.2016-03-13T23:32:59+00:00monthlyhttps://coastalhues.com/2016/03/05/week-39-cabinetry-installed-tile-progress/https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/2016-03-05-15-51-17.jpg2016-03-05 15.51.17The nook in the boys bath is finished in the same gray/blue glass tile as the border underneath the chair rail. Just gives it a bit of detail in an otherwise all white bath.https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/2016-03-05-11-52-04.jpg2016-03-05 11.52.04The tile looks great from just peeking into the shower. None of the showers will have doors on them, so no glass to clean!https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/2016-03-05-11-52-32.jpg2016-03-05 11.52.32The tile in the guest shower has been finished too.

You can also see the flooring which was installed in a 1/3 offset 'stepped' pattern.https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/2016-03-05-15-29-48.jpg2016-03-05 15.29.48Here's a view from the prep island looking back into the living room. The cabinet to the left of the pass through will be replaced. I'm not sure how but the layout is all screwed up and definitely not what we ordered.https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/2016-03-05-15-50-43.jpg2016-03-05 15.50.43The cabinets in the boys' bath look great and are mirror opposites of each other. The drawers aren't huge, but I don't think they'll need much space and they do have 4 of them each. I think it'll be plenty - if I had daughters on they other hand, they probably would have been designed differently.https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/2016-03-05-11-55-21-hdr-2.jpg2016-03-05 11.55.21 HDR-2I love how my vanity is turning out. The window is centered above the desk area for makeup and getting ready. That desk portion still needs to be lowered to the correct height, but they're waiting for another piece to do so.2016-03-08T21:35:55+00:00monthlyhttps://coastalhues.com/2016/02/28/week-38-shower-tile-great-room-beams-corbels/https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/2016-02-29-07-39-51.jpg2016-02-29 07.39.51The crown moulding was installed in the dining room, entry, master bedroom and master bathroom this week as well.

Plus, don't the corbels look great?!https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/2016-02-25-09-36-11.jpg2016-02-25 09.36.11The back of the house turned out great, and the corbels look really nice too.https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/2016-02-25-09-35-21.jpg2016-02-25 09.35.21Here's a view of the back of the house, standing by the guest room and looking up underneath the gables. https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/2016-02-27-19-32-29.jpg2016-02-27 19.32.29They were absolutely, 100%, amazing.

I can't wait for it to be redone with the correct size trim. https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/2016-02-14-16-17-40.jpg2016-02-14 16.17.40The coffered ceiling really give the room some dimension. And I love that we didn't carry it through into the informal eating area by the windows...it really helps define the spaces.https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/2016-02-14-16-15-48.jpg2016-02-14 16.15.48This is the first time that we're getting to see the crown moulding and I think it looks fantastic! It's hard to pick out from a catalog, and I thought it was going to have too much "detail" in the crown for me, but I really do like it.https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/2016-02-25-09-32-35.jpg2016-02-25 09.32.35The boys bath floor was installed in the 1/3 offset pattern that I really wasn't fond of. Luckily (if you can call it that), they also installed the flooring in the opposite direction than what I wanted. So the incorrect 1/3 layout is definitely less noticeable from the doorway. At least they did a good job on the install!https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/1-3-option-2.png1-3 Option 2This is the first option that has the vertical grout lines jump back and forth by 1/3.https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/1-3-option-1.jpg1-3 Option 1And then this option has the vertical grout lines step at 1/3 intervals.2016-03-06T14:41:38+00:00monthlyhttps://coastalhues.com/2016/02/14/week-36-millwork-tile-prep/https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/2016-02-14-16-27-28.jpg2016-02-14 16.27.28And check out the tile we ordered for our Master...how fitting for Valentine's Day!?

Definitely a fun detail and it's just something different that'll make our home more unique. Well worth the effort the guy put in all day Monday in creating it! https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/2016-02-06-13-03-56.jpg2016-02-06 13.03.56A lot of the moulding for the house is here now too! It'll be exciting to see it installed finally.https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/2016-02-06-13-06-03.jpg2016-02-06 13.06.03All of the backer board for the tile is now waiting patiently in the garage to be installed ;)https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/2016-02-06-13-03-10.jpg2016-02-06 13.03.10The doors made their way to our place all hung in their frames. Still none of the interior doors have been installed though. It's so nice to see them out of our office at our rental house though.https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/2016-02-06-13-03-47.jpg2016-02-06 13.03.47The crown we picked out looks even better than I was expecting.https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/2016-02-13-11-46-12.jpg2016-02-13 11.46.12We chose 3"x6" subway tile for the guest shower - Dal Tile's Rittenhouse in Desert Gray and Arctic White.https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/2016-02-13-11-46-01.jpg2016-02-13 11.46.01The guest bathroom's shower will have stripes of gray and white all the way around it. https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/2016-02-13-12-16-28.jpg2016-02-13 12.16.282016-03-05T03:28:47+00:00monthlyhttps://coastalhues.com/2016/02/07/week-35-painting-the-interior-the-wrong-color/https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/2016-02-05-13-23-33.jpg2016-02-05 13.23.33Here's a close up of Cornforth White walls, Decorator's White trim color, and our flooring selection.https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/2016-02-05-13-16-38.jpg2016-02-05 13.16.38The paint on the wall is Cornforth White (100%), and the sample board there is it reduced to 50% which is the color I wanted all of the walls to be. The cabinet door in the picture is not only the color of the cabinets, but also the same color that the trim and ceilings are - Benjamin Moore's Decorator's White. And our floor sample is in the picture too. https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/2016-02-06-13-32-28.jpg2016-02-06 13.32.28The kitchen looks good over by the windows, but when you look back at the other end of it, it's REALLY dark. But we'll have a bunch of white cabinets filling that space. So maybe once all the cabinets go in it'll feel better?https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/2016-02-05-13-08-15.jpg2016-02-05 13.08.15The color doesn't bother me too much in the master bedroom. I guess it's fine for bedrooms to be a bit darker. https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/2016-02-05-13-14-49-1.jpg2016-02-05 13.14.49-1It's really hard to tell the exact colors from the pictures, but here it looks pretty dark. Sarah reminded me - so does the ceiling though, and it's white!https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/2016-02-05-13-08-48.jpg2016-02-05 13.08.48In the office you can really see that it's definitely more of a medium gray tone. 2016-02-09T10:49:59+00:00monthlyhttps://coastalhues.com/2016/01/31/week-34-wall-colors-wall-texture/https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/2016-01-30-08-35-37.jpg2016-01-30 08.35.37Of course all Spencer wanted to do was rip the plastic off the windows!

Still haven't decided on colors and not quite sure what to do about that! I guess I'll be out there next weekend painting and figuring colors out more. https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/2016-01-23-17-33-38.jpg2016-01-23 17.33.38To get ready for Sunday's trip to the house with my mom, I went Saturday night to paint some drywall. But it was pitch black in the garage so I needed to paint via lantern light!https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/2016-01-24-16-28-27-hdr-2.jpg2016-01-24 16.28.27 HDR-2The mudroom door turned out fantastic - I love the X detail on the door and how it's mirrored in the garage doors. And the dutch door will be really fun when the boys are outside playing. Too bad all that paper is covering up the glass on the door.https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/2016-01-12-11-37-17.jpg2016-01-12 11.37.17Laundry Room: the laundry room cabinetry will be the same white as the rest of the house, and we are still using the glass flecked slab that my mom and I found at MSI a few months ago. To coordinate with that slab, the tile queen actually picked out an awesome backsplash tile - it's an Oceanside glass tile. It's going to look fantastic! Not so fantastic is the octagon file for the floor...I'm really not a huge fan of it. It's just a busy pattern for my liking, but it's within our budget and I realize that it's only a laundry room. I really would have just liked a hex tile for in there - but surprisingly the hex tile is more expensive. Of course! https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/2016-01-12-09-51-58.jpg2016-01-12 09.51.58Guest Bathroom: The guest bathroom downstairs is going to be really pretty...I mean, masculine too (Joel)! The flooring is a faux carrera from Florida Tile called Gallant. It has soft gray veining and in the small space is really going to make it feel bright. The countertop is a Pental Quartz called Grey Savoie. The shower will have a white and gray striped subway tile pattern...super fun!https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/2016-01-12-10-52-33.jpg2016-01-12 10.52.33Boys' Bath: I love the boys bathroom tile selections. Really this is just the flooring which is Florida Tile's Cliffside Tile in the color "Grotto". The counter top really coordinated with it and is a quartz from Wilsonart called "Amalfi Coast". The shower tile isn't shown here, but it's a white subway tile and a blue glass tile. I think this room is going to look amazing!https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/2016-01-20-11-50-20.jpg2016-01-20 11.50.20Our favorite at the store is this Divinity Tile in their Artemis pattern. The darker tile is Carrera Velato Honed Marble and the lighter whiter tile is White Thassos Polished Marble. All of the little white tiles are cut and placed by hand and at $135 per square foot, we'll be buying just a little bit for a feature behind the range.https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/2016-01-24-15-43-13.jpg2016-01-24 15.43.13The office is looking great with the walls getting completed. The doorway to the left is the powder bath, and the one on the right is a closet for the office. Straight ahead will be french doors leading into the office.https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/2016-01-24-15-46-07.jpg2016-01-24 15.46.07To the right of the fireplace, we'll have a railing to keep the space open and still get the light in from the staircase.https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/2016-01-24-15-49-57.jpg2016-01-24 15.49.57The drywall mudding and taping has begun which is really noticeable on the curved wall at the top of the staircase.2016-01-25T04:50:07+00:00monthlyhttps://coastalhues.com/2016/01/17/week-32-drywall-installed/https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/2016-01-16-12-01-26.jpg2016-01-16 12.01.26Up for next week...mudding & taping!https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/2016-01-16-11-56-19.jpg2016-01-16 11.56.19Spence was so excited that his closet was opened up again (last week the drywall crew left their tools in here and boarded it up).https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/2016-01-16-11-49-24.jpg2016-01-16 11.49.24Spencer had a ton of fun walking around the house with me on Saturday.

This one will be a bit tricky to work out the details, because it's a dutch door.

Those are the barge boards.https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/vertical-barge-board-detail-note.jpgvertical barge board detail - noteIn the close up you can see that the ends are cut vertically.https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/2015-09-02-19-43-27.jpg2015-09-02 19.43.27The entry started to take shape this week - the doorway and the big dining room window on the right will eventually both have arched tops. I'm loving the oval window up top though!https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/2015-09-02-18-25-34.jpg2015-09-02 18.25.34By Wednesday I think they had all of the trusses up and in place.https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/2015-09-02-18-21-02.jpg2015-09-02 18.21.02This is the ceiling in the laundry room. I went round and round with Matt on the best look for the ceiling in here - I never really liked what the architect came up with, but I'm super happy on what the builder and I designed. https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/2015-09-02-18-14-34.jpg2015-09-02 18.14.34xxxhttps://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/2015-09-02-18-12-51.jpg2015-09-02 18.12.51Here's a view of the dining room ceiling and you can see that we added in a 10" tray ceiling into the truss design. https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/2015-09-02-18-12-46.jpg2015-09-02 18.12.46A view of the trusses from below.2015-10-19T06:06:04+00:00monthlyhttps://coastalhues.com/2015/08/22/week-11-framing-the-main-level-begins/https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/entry-dining-dimensions-08192015.jpgEntry & Dining Dimensions 08192015I changed the entry and dining windows this week to work with the 11' ceiling height.https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/2015-08-20-18-48-13.jpg2015-08-20 18.48.13The cute couple hanging out in our backyard!https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/2015-07-23-10-14-05.jpg2015-07-23 10.14.05The daddy deer!https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/2015-08-20-18-50-53.jpg2015-08-20 18.50.53https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/2015-08-20-18-50-45.jpg2015-08-20 18.50.45This is also in the kitchen - our sink will be centered underneath the three windows and that door opening will lead outside to the deck.https://coastalhues.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/2015-08-20-18-45-59.jpg2015-08-20 18.45.59These are the windows and door to the deck in our master bath.
