Are U Ready for Dis?

First, Les Couleurs...

In the dining room we have Spiced Pumpkin. It's a rich terra cotta color that we thought would nicely compliment the cabinets and the cherry wood furniture we bought from Stickley. See how well it looks with that panel for cabinetry (I think that goes in the refridgerator space).

In the foyer and hallway, we chose a neutral shade that is slightly darker, than the color that was already there. This is called Twisted Oak Path. We believe it compliments the Spiced Pumpkin and the shades we chose in the New Space.

This is 2 shades of yellow, but we don't remember the names of them. The window wall is an accent color, and it's slightly more yellow than the rest of the room. The wood work will remain white. The fireplace will have a black slate surround.

The display nooks in the hallway will be painted Twisted Oak Path, with the backs painted a variation of the shade used in the powder room....

...remember this color for the Powder room? It's called Fruity Punch. It's only going to be in this semi-circle, next to the Euro-crapper we bought. I think the rest of the room will be a basic white.

The hangers for the mirror, and the wiring for the pendants in the Powder Room.

And now the exciting stuff....

meet The Granite. It's Brazilian, and the pictures don't really do it justice. Its got swirls of bluish-black, specks of amethyst colors, and golds, and whites, and greys. We thought it was fab-oosh.

Here's a wider shot of the buffet into between the kitchen and the dining room.

Here's my new GE Monogram 5-burner cooktop. The granite guys took the cooktop and the sink with them to custom fit them in the granite.

Here's the new sink, smaller prep sink on the left, deep basin on the right. The holes in the back, from left to right are: counter top disposal on/off switch, Soap dispenser, Main Faucet, filtered water dispenser.

Here's the rear view. The bar juts out about 24 inches, it's still got the 2x4 underneath because the counter won't be fixed until the plumbing is attached and completed. Here's the first shot of the accent color we chose called Ruby Dusk. It sort of eggplant colored we chose it for this under counter area and the trim on the Curve in the New Space.

Here's the wide shot of the new workspace.

Here's the view of the kitchen from the Dining Room.

There you have it. It's really coming together quick now. Today the crew is finishing the deck while the painters wrap things up inside. They make do some cabinetry while the painters are working.

The siding guys will be here. They replaced siding and trim on the side of the house yesterday, it's a mess now. I think they'll be there until the middle of next week, but the great thing is that since Commonwealth is subbing it out, they can focus on detail work inside.

It was took dark last night to take exterior shots, and I didn't have the bandwidth this morning...as I will address in a separate post.

Anyhoo, have a great weekend eer-one!

S'all for now,
