Another blog deserted!!

Nope!!  I'm torn, I want to give you all these updated pictures BUT I also want to wait until rooms are finished.  However, with resources being very scarce, projects are starting to slow down.  Well, that and a little burn-out by me and P.  So I will give you a few peeks into where we are at, without spoiling the finsihed product. 

Tile is halfway done in the bathroom and we are patiently waiting for enough funding to put the countertops in, they are already on order.  So excited for these two rooms to be finished.

Remember our Inspirations.

Also, not to add another blog to your list, I have been asking a lot of design questions over at http://www.blondeblogshell.com/.  I'll try to do a better job of tying in some of the house related stuff over here. 

Tub and tile

We ordered our tile today from Daltile store in Culver City.  Thanks to Chris for helping out.  He really knew his stuff, was very professional and had great ideas.  I can't say so much for the lady who couldn't even greet us when we walked into the showroom.  We got the 1" hexagon white tile for the bathroom floor.  We are going to randomly plug in black hexagons throughout.  P found the picture below and loves it.  I don't really get it but am willing to give it a try.  See, I AM accommodating!!  :)  On the walls, we are using 2" x 4" white tile as wainscoting 4' tall with a black 1/2" x 6" accent.  the tub/shower will have the 2" x 4" go all the way to the ceiling and will have 2 rows of the accent tile.  The tub will be framed in with a ledge with the tile.

Mission Millworks will come out next week to measure our kitchen.  This I'm most excited about!!!

We are getting a new door for back door and was thinking of getting a custom door from Mission Millworks.  However, we want to get a dog door in it but I have looked everywhere and they are so cheap looking.  If anyone has any good recommendations for companies that don't have plastic white dog doors.  I'd like a dark brown one that blends with the door.  However, I found this company that builds them right into the custom door but I'm scared to get a price.  Do you think a wooden flap would their back?    http://www.vintagedoors.com/petdoor.html.
