Welcome back!
Let's get right into it -- here's the exterior of our house!

We're going to be getting into the landscaping soon and it should start to shape up in a few months. We'll do before and after photos again once that's completed.


We're going to postpone the rest of the "before and after" photos for August. That's when we should be finished up with the interior! I'll do each room one-by-one in blog posts every few days - stay tuned!

Meanwhile, we've been working on finishing some of the odds n' ends. Top on the list was camouflaging the fact that I ordered our bathroom counter ~6 inches too small...
Jesse used the glass tile from the backsplash to continue the counter on the sides -- you can't even tell it was a mistake!

Here's a close-up of the backsplash and counter repair job


Jesse also finished the travertine backsplash in the kitchen. It's incredible and matches the travertine floor.



We plan everything, and I mean everything! And it's not just me. Here, Jesse is creating mock-ups of what he envisions the area above the commode will look like once it's finished.


Why are we working on odds n' ends? Well...we've passed our final inspection for our remodel permit!!!!!! No more major structural changes! No more dust! No more living without bathrooms! No more craziness! Smooth sailing from now on...maybe.

Here's our completed inspection card as proof:


Until next time!
