House update 12/11/10

I'm long overdue for an update!!!

Family Room
We have a wonderful family room right off the kitchen which is banked with windows facing west!  And just hours before Thanksgiving dinner with 16 people... that room got a beautiful bamboo floor and sheetrock.

We ran three 6' tables north to south for our guest and used the kitchen island as a buffet table.  It was AWESOME to have so much room for our gathering!

However... the walls & ceiling still have to be finished!

I can't believe how much lighter it is in that room with the sheetrock up and a floor in!  I'm thinking about chocolate for the north wall....

1st Floor Bathroom
I applied the 2nd coat of beautiful earthy Willow Tree paint to the walls and ceiling today!  Now I'm ready to put down the Ditra then will move onto tiling!

I want this bathroom to be done for Christmas!!!

Matt's Bedroom
I'm almost done putting the first coat of mud on the walls & ceiling.  I want to finish Matt's room for Christmas too!

Master Suite
The master suite bathroom has been missing it's sheetrock... well... up till a few days ago. Rich and our teen son Matthew have been working away... it's NOT done yet but they're on a roll!
