Lakehouse Update April 27, 2008

As an early anniversary present, we took Grammy Jo and Popi up to see the lakehouse on April 27, 2008. The last time they had seen it was when the basement and first floor were being framed. We spent a lot of time walking the house, showing them all the details, including their special room. We think they liked it!! Greg came along; he put together the beds in various rooms while we gave the "grand tour." Later, Popi, Dennis and Greg hung the tv in the Master Bedroom.

Lakehouse Update April 19, 2008

These pictures were taken in the late afternoon of April 19, 2008, as Dennis, Greg and Kathy were about to leave for home. We had spent the day moving "stuff" into the house, including the Great Room couches and chairs. The sun was setting, so some of the pictures are dark. These pictures don't capture how beautiful it really is!!


The Kitchen as seen from across the counter that divides it from the Great Room.

Another view of the kitchen from the Great Room entrance.

The six burner cooktop in place, with the stone & granite "supports" for the cabinets; the stone matches the stone above the vent area and on the fireplace in the Great Room. The potfiller is in place and works! Eventually, the wall area above the cooktop will be tiled (when we find the right design and tiles!)

The double ovens, corner cabinets, and french door refrigerator in place.

View of countertops, microwave oven, sink area, and view out center kitchen windows from across the center island.

The Dining Room with the overhead and perimeter lights on, and new square table that seats 8 in place. Baby Brown Bear is sitting on the table.
