House Progress: Granite Installed

It's official, friends. We have a closing date! A lovely Wednesday in early August will mark our ownership of the "Denver house". Today I had to drop Miss Lucy (our schnauzer) at the vet for a teeth cleaning, so I drove two blocks over to check on the progress of the house. Boy am I glad I did! So much has happened since we snuck a peek last weekend.

Our tile has been installed, all granite counter tops, and the banister was installed and stained. To give you a feel, the banister and hardwoods will be the same color. Also, the hole in our island will be the gas range. Our sink is located under the window. Mr. SE wanted this super industrial rectangle single-basin sink, and I'm SO glad I trusted him on it!

Building your own house is a completely new experience to Mr. SE and I. It's such a cool feeling to walk into a home and love everything! There's nothing to change or fix, just decorate!
Kona panels will be wrapped around all sides of the island once the floor is installed. 

Ryan's sink. Loves it!

Close up of island. Remember, the kona cabinets will be wrapped around once the floor is installed. Hole is for our gas stove. This marble makes me giddy. 

Master bathroom. Looks like mama got her marble counter after all!
Tub/shower granite is placed but not grouted yet. Grout will be white. The floor tiles make me drool.

Yummy Banister. Fireplace w/molding not painted white yet

Great Room, from the back corner. Front door is down the hall to the right (where the light is coming)
