Saltillo tile is muy bueno...

So we have begun the tile installation. One of David's friends is a tile installer and has started working on our saltillo floors. They look so great. I'm really glad that we went with the saltillo. I love the color variation and the natural look it gives the room.

Sorry the picture is blurry. I really need a new camera.

Here's a view of the house that I don't post very often. I put it up so that you could see another angle of the deck.

In this picture, David has just started the decking boards on the deck. They are done now, and the view from up there is really fabulous.
I guess that's all for now.

Work on the deck...

So we have started working on the deck.
This is the kind of building that I can get behind and understand. The house construction was so detailed and precise that it was too much for me. This is much more organic and fluid, kinda make it up as you go along. The above is the "plan." It changed a couple of times before we got to that one and then has morphed a little from there.
Here are some in process shots.
Also, here's the colors for the bathroom.
It is hard to get the bathroom into one photo... I'm going to have to work on that. Anyway, the main part of the room is dark brown and the toilet closet and the linen closet are ocean blue. We are going to be using a dark cream colored tiled for the main part of the walls, so the contrast with the brown should be nice.

Y'all have a happy and safe New Year's Eve.

Merry Christmas!

I hope you all have a wonderful Chrismas!

Closet Panelling

We are putting the panelling in the closet and it looks great. We are
making some progress in other areas as well. Some of the granite was
installed on Wednesday and all of the painted surfaces are getting a
second coat. Yea for progress!
