Adding Some Character

As you can imagine, the next few days were filled with a lot of taping, mudding and sanding.

And taping, mudding, and sanding.

And taping, mudding and sanding.  Well, you get the idea.

Things went from dusty but empty to crowded again once the doors showed up,

the trim guys set up shop in the great room,

and trim work began.  This door has a space above for one of the interior transom windows that will go in.  We worked with Philip and his trim genius, Lenwood, to create a beautiful trim package. All the downstairs doors and windows have this 4 piece structure around it. Between that and the tall baseboards, the doors and windows occupy almost the entire 10 foot wall!

The illusion of judges panelling is created down the hallway.

From the stairs looking toward the back door.  The door to the garage is on the left, to the screened porch is on the right, and to the guest room and laundry is in the front right corner. 

Speaking of stairs, they went in as well. 

 

We don't know what we're going to put in these built-ins in the dining room, but we love the interest that they add.
