The view of my kitchen from the bedroom/loft.
Soapstone hearth stone. This piece has not been oiled so it isn't as dark at the countertops.

My sweet stove.

Day One Hundred Forty-five - Soapstone, Shower Stairs, & Stone

The Soapstone countertops were installed yesterday. This obviously is the bathroom vanity.
This wonderful vein of some mineral (I do plan to find out what) is in my kitchen.
The travertine tile is on the shower walls. Nic came up with this nifty design.
The stairs have railing and balustrades.
Some (actually one and a half of 23) of the column bases have stone.

Day One Hundred Ninety-three - Siding, Stain, Strairs, Shower, Stove

I am writing this post from in front of the fireplace in the new house. Nic is busy installing tile on the shower walls and Tony and I are enjoying the fire.

It has been a busy couple of week. The siding crew should finish up tomorrow or the next day. I think the siding really makes the house look different. Since I took this picture yesterday the walls of the bedroom balcony have been covered with shingles to match the dormer.

The mason and his crew have been hit hard by the flu bug. They were suppose to be here on Tuesday and haven't been able to get here yet but promised to make it tomorrow.

Nic and his friend, Jim worked on the stairs.
The painter stained the doors, windows, woodwork, etc.
Nic started on the tile in the shower. The tile is travertine and actually doesn't have as much color variation as the photo would make you think.
And the appliances were delivered. I won't bore you with photos of large cardboard boxes.
