The wood floors start going down in the upstairs hall.



And then the grand room.

Gettin' the Bling On

It's an exciting day.  The electricians are here and installing lights.  Stay tuned, this will take 3-4 days, but here is a sample.

The first lights go in for the master bath.  Uh-oh, a broken globe on the first fixture, hope that's the only one.


Guest bedroom upstairs gets a wood chandelier, of course.


The light over the pool table in the game room.  Very nice.


Outdoor lights for the balcony and loggias.


An added bonus, the double oven was delivered today, which I bought over a year ago on-sale.  It was too heavy for the electricians to install, waiting for the flooring crew tomorrow to help slide it in place.


Day 2

Light in the stairwell


Three more lights for the loggias


And a pretty little chandelier over the tub.


Preview for next week:  A really big light for the master bedroom.


Day 3

The light is up in the master bedroom.  It's so much prettier than it looks here.



The grand room



The foyer, over the mosaic floor.


The dining room.  Wow!


The hall between the dining room and the kitchen.


The leisure (TV) room.


OK, these aren't lights, but I wanted to show the progress on the stairs.


Almost done.  One day to go.

The Fabulous Fireplace!

Here it comes!


In pieces



The first piece is installed - the hearth.



Phase 2


Whew, that last piece took five men to lift.  (I just stayed out of the way.)


And then the frieze.



Here comes the mantle.


BEAUTIFUL!!!


Saltillo Tile Update

Tile. Lots and lots of tile.

 Finally, the mosaic is being installed today!





And the saltillo tile is getting started, too.  I love this tile!




The cabana bath.


The master shower.  Nice!
