Far from done but closer

Sorry about the LONG delay.  With packing, moving, finishing touches, trying to caught back up at work, writing about the house when I have some downtime hasn't been my first priority.  But here are some pictures to tide you over.  I apologize for the mess of moving but we will post more when we are closer.

The dark trim took HOURS of stripping, sanding, staining and then finally for some sealer.  They were all painted many times before and it what kept us busy for a long time.  We love the dark stain (java) and the new hard wood floors.  We thought the floors were drak until the stain came in.  We love it. 

Please ignore our light fixtures, they are literally the cheapest Home Depot had and we will be replacing them along the way. 

Reminder of what these rooms used to look like:  http://1916bungalowheaven.blogspot.com/2010/05/introduction-day-1-and-2.html

The kitchen isn't close to done and this is the room I am anxiously waiting for.  Cabinet doors and drawers are supposed to be in later this week or early next week.  Then we can paint them white and then we can get our appliances. 

Doorway from dining room, fridge will go on left.  So excited for the farmhouse sink!!

Kitchen from back door.  Dishwasher will go in hole in center and fridge will be on near left. 

Entrance from back door.  Washer and dryer will go in the built-in section underneath. 

Master Bedroom

Bathroom

Restoration Hardware medicine cabinet and Kohler sink

Our lovely plastic liner since our tile has been on backorder since the beginning of July.  Picture white 2x4" tile all the way to the ceiling with a black accent.  I love to imagine it when the plastic is stuck to me while taking a shower!  I love the speed of the hot water though with our new tankless water heater!!

The floor design we decided on. 

Office and "Man Cave"

Love, love, love my office.  Same set-up as before but now 1/2 my desk looks out a window so I can be the nosy gatekeeper onto our block.  I will be the first to know of any "odd" care in driveways :)

Entrance to office/man cave.

Dining Room

I will take some pictures in the evening when you can see the colors better and not so many sun glares.  Copley is loving being able to go out and in whenever he wants and so is Nala.  She is just so comfortable wherever she is.  She was lying on the front patio within 2 hours of living here, not a care in the world but where to roll!

Fun day

Just bought our bathroom stuff today!  I have a longer update coming but this one is fun and quick.

If you go to the "Inspirations" link above, you can see the look we are shooting for.  

Big bath tub - BainUltra - Origami 6636

 P laid in the store model and didn't have to bend his knees so he was sold.  We got it without "air" and it has a nice slanted back for lying in the tub.  We opted to do the tub/shower combo but wanted to have a nice soaking tub.

Kohler Memoirs Stately Pedestal Sink and Toilet

The fixtures are in polished chrome with porcelain cap things (indexes).  California Faucets for most of the fixtures.  The shower will have a fixed shower head with an additional hand shower (for dogs and maybe kids?) as well as the tub faucet.  It will match the sink faucet shown below. 

The above faucet will have the "Topanga" handles (below).
