I can't believe the roof tiles are finally being installed!
.
.
Steve felt the need to climb up on the roof to make sure the tiles weren't too straight. I'm sure you can imagine how thrilled I was to see him up there (yes, I'm being sarcastic).
.
.
.
The tower is going to look amazing...
.
.
.
Here's a glimpse of the tower on the side of the house, over Nick's bedroom. You can get a sense of what the spire will look like once all of the tiles are in place.
.
.
By the end of the week, the tiles were laid on the roof of the back of the house...
.
.
.
.
and the stone was installed around the arched doors!
.
.
The porch outside of my office is already becoming a great place to have lunch :)
.
.
Inside, the arched entry hall was plastered this week. Soon, the small antique door to laundry room will be hung.
.
.
The powder room sink is so pretty! I'll have to leave the door open all of the time!
.
.
.
The sink is simply suspended on the plaster wall.
.
.
The hallway window is recessed into the thick plaster wall.
.
.
This wall of the kitchen is plastered and awaiting the installation of cabinetry...
.
.
Here's Steve's sketch of the cabinetry. All of the white Oak paneled drawers will be surrounded by plaster.
.
.
The guest house siding is moving along!
.
.
As our move-in date gets closer, I've started to allow myself to think about furnishings...
A Swedish settee, upholstered in Libeco Belgian linen...

.
One of our new Alix Sofas will find a home in our living room.
.
.
.
As the finishes are installed in the house, the interior furnishings are slowly becoming more obvious to me.
.
.
.
This stage of construction is both exciting and a little scary... will all of our decisions come together to create the house in my head? We'll soon find out!
