Finishes & Details

So we've started picking some of the detail things & finishes. Here are the door knobs. Smart Key by KwikSet This is the front door.


These are all other interior & exterior doors - the finish is called Oil Rubbed Bronze.



We've chosen the exterior doors but I can't find a photo online & I don't have time to scan in the photo from my catalog. But, I do have the interior doors:

This is the vanity for both bathrooms - it comes as the set - mirror included!

Febo by Ace Hardware
The cabinets for the kitchen are Cambrian by Sunnywood .
Their website is not cooperating with me & you'll have to follow the link to see the photos of it. We're doing basic cabinets, no wine rack, no plate holders, no glass doors - just the basics. The counter has not been chosen but will be a laminate that looks like a beige granite.

I've ordered samples of the flooring - its looking like hardwood in the main living area, with cork everywhere else. We'll see.


I think that's it for now. I'd like to see it again before we leave but there just isn't time. A lot should be done by the time we come home. We need to be picking colors for the roof & the exterior siding. Windows have been ordered - they're a great color on the vinyl. Its not white, its not almond, they call it bronze but its like a dark taupe.

Oct 25 Cabin Update

Okay - we were up working again today. . . here's what we saw:

The old fireplace. . . and a few new walls!
The front door is right next to where the new wall is framed. You can see the master bath's window & the master bed's window, and part of the basement.

Here's the inside view - standing in the living room looking towards the kitchen & the master.

Standing in the kitchen looking towards the second bedroom with a clearstory window, and the laundry/mud room nook.

Standing in the kitchen looking towards the living room, out over the deck & into the meadow.

Inside the basement. Look now, this may be the only shots I take of this area! It will get a lot of insulation & possibly the washer & dryer.

The holes are crawl space access to under the rest of the cabin.

The infamous debris pile. It doesn't seem to have changed any.

One last shot - this may be the new driveway area.

Oct 11 Cabin Update

Here's the cabin - Oct 11.2008

The old brick fireplace that was in the living room. . . this will become the master bedroom.



Here's Emma with her favorite "puzzle tree" that will be at the corner of the cabin, you can see the basement in the background.

Standing in the laundry area!
My beautiful meadow. . . covered in fill dirt.
The debris pile from the old cabin.

Emma's birthday

We'll come back to this. . . .I promise!
