Cabinets, Mantels, and Sound, Oh My !



Today Jeff and I met Jim at the house to decide on two things:  configuration of the built-ins,  and there are a lot, (.... in every room except the bedrooms)!

Rest assured, Jeff is working to remedy that!






We also had to decide, once and for all, about audio and security. It has been nagging us for weeks; and we're finally done!


The exciting development today was the fireplace. We have been mulling over ways to make the surround more interesting and make better use of the space.

Jeff and Jim came up with the idea of creating a recessed area above the mantel to add interest, use empty space, and break up the straight lines of the fireplace surround. For the mantel, we're using a nicely finished glulam beam to match the exposed beams upstairs.



Siding and Bruce's beautiful garage door





Most of the progress is happening on the outside. The siding is going up, and the fir soffits are going on. They look great on the garage!







Our sturdy plants are looking sad
And our house is looking ...YELLOW!!
