Contractor Day

Last Thursday was the day all the contractors came. We had the bedroom and stair carpeting, the wood laminate in the loft, the patio french-style doors AND the Direct TV installer all here at the same time. Here are some photos of the process:

Wood lamainte flooring in the loft. The color is deeper then it appears in this photo. It is called Coconut Husk from Sherwin Williams. We also have wood blinds that have been installed since those photo was taken.


Our Master Bedroom. The wall to the left and the window wall are painted Coconut Husk (just like the loft). This photo is a better view of what Coconut Husk looks like. The other walls are Latte by Sherwin Williams. This was taken while the carpet pad was being installed. Joe had done some patchwork on the drywall as well.

We had the old patio slider removed-- here is a shot of the contractors installing the french-style patio doors. You can semi-see the wood blinds to the window to the left.

Naked stairs!!! Before the carpet goes in....

Horrible photo because the lense is dirty. But this is our green/dog/future nursery room. The color is called Koi Pond by Sherwin Williams.

And the carpet goes in!! We used a tighter/flatter carpet for the stairs. Anything that was carpet in the house got replaced with either of the two carpets we used or the wood laminate. As you can see from this photo, we removed the side railings that were originally on the left of the stairs as you start up. We removed another set of railings which will be visible in future photos.

I'm glad we were able to get everything installed in one day. It made the whole process go by much smoother. We are waiting on our foyer lamp to get replaced (the first one broke) and our last set of window blinds to get ordered (the first set was cut incorrectly). Once those are up, we are pretty much good to go and can finally rest! There is still stuff to hang, stuff to organize, stuff to put away, stuff to clean etc. But all in all everything has come together nicely and everything looks great. Joe and I keep talking about how perfect this house is for us. We are very happy.
