The main areas are almost done

Start the tour going up the new stairs from the main floor.


The hall at the top of the stairs. The door is up on the little storage closet on the left.


Continue the tour, past the new "his and hers" clothes closets.


Here's the inside view of a closet.



And back down the new stairs. (aren't they pretty?)



We just need to finish the bathroom and we are DONE!

Today is the two week anniversary of starting the attic

…and the bedroom is almost finished!

Most of the floor is down upstairs and the walls are all painted. I wish I could get a shot of the whole thing, but hopefully this will give you and idea of what the bedroom looks like. The view above is the front side of the room (where the dormers are. ) The picture below is the back side.
I am totally in love with the floor. I cannot believe how beautiful it looks!

The floors are going down

This is the bedroom floor. It looks really pretty!


These are our closets.

Our whole house is a mess!


This is the spot in the kitchen where the heat & AC ductwork was added. I'm not quite sure what I'm going to do about the paint on this—I don't have any more of the border paper, so I may just paint the whole thing to match the top part of the wall. Or I may end up redoing the kitchen. Any suggestions?

We are living in chaos here! But it is happy chaos.

Something to listen to while you look at the pictures

We picked up the material for the floors yesterday—29 boxes altogether. Here is a sample of what it looks like:

I think they are going to start installing it today. I'll definitely have more pictures once they start putting it in.

This link should take you to the Duron page with our paint color. It is called Icelandic.

Let there be light!

The lights and electricity went in yesterday, so now hopefully my pictures will be a little less dark.

This is the view looking up the stairs towards the landing.

This is the hall and the landing seen from the bedroom. The landing light and the hall lights are the same style, just different sizes. The one at the landing is a little bigger version of the hall lights. Here is one up close:


We found the tiniest ceiling fan in the world for the bedroom. It is only 32" across, but it fits perfectly in the peak of the ceiling. Here is a close up:
