Closer view of the upper cabinets. Glass fronts coordinate with the glass in the front door and kitchen glass-fronted cabinets, and echo the vertical lines of the beams and the staircase. Squares under the center cabinets will hold wine bottles.

First pics of the Great Room bar area...looks great! Cabinet stain color coordinates perfectly with the stain on the beams. Open area is where small refrigerator/beverage center will be. The countertop will be slate tiles, to coodinate with the slate foyer just to the left of the picture.

First photos of the Lower Level bar! Looks fantastic! Pics do not do it justice (low light and blurry shots). Stain color looks great with room mouldings and overhead beams.


Imagine the small TV in the open center section, with the glass fronted cabinets on either side, the microwave under the upper cabinets to the right, and the dishwasher in the open area below.


View taken from the other side. Bar area directly in front will be built up and out to form an eating/serving penninsula, topped with black (mottled with silver) tiles and jet black edging.

The vanity cabinet temporarily set in the Lower Level Bedroom bathroom.
Hard to see in picture, but the color is a "weathered evergreen" that goes
with the "dusty green" of some of the tiles in the floor and wall tile patterns.


The floor pattern of the Lower Level Sauna bathroom, set in place but not grouted.
Very nice pattern that will coordinate with vertical stone pattern in shower area.


Another view of the floor pattern. Vanity cabinet has not yet been set in for wall tile placement.

The Guest Master Bedroom bathroom floor pattern, set but not grouted yet.


The vanity cabinet set in place so that the height of the tiled wall can be established.
It will be set in place permanently later after the floor is grouted.


One more view of the Guest Master Bedroom bathroom floor and vanity cabinet.

A view of the newly added bottom deck and railings, taken from the outside staircase,
looking "through" the supports for the main deck.

Today they are constructing and attaching the staircase from the back deck down to the yard level.
These steps will be stained the same color as the log siding;
the deck will remain the color that it presently is.


Looks steep, but really isn't bad, just the angle of the photograph.


From the bottom step looking back up towards the dining room windows. Couldn't take a better picture because the ground was so muddy below.
