Fireplace done- for now

We will eventually put up a mantle, and likely adjust the stain color a little darker and redder. But for now, we are crossing the fireplace off the list. We love the colors in the slate tiles.

Finishing Up

As of 10:00 AM, this Saturday morning, we are officially done with our house renovation. The tour of homes is this weekend, and has been a good motivator to finish up all the little projects. There's still some things the house needs, but I think we've run out of steam for a while.

We tiled and grouted the fireplace, and tonight Richard is working on a wood trim:

I ironed 1100 sqft of curtains- my grandma would be so proud!

We painted the final 5 doors, and this hallway cabinet, and put on new door knobs and pulls: We stained the banister, and painted the trim and door frames downstairs:
We put up some flower baskets and did a little landscaping (which will look good in a few years once everything grows!):Here's the view right now from the dining room- the cherry blossoms are beautiful!
