Zeno’s remodel

Warning! Picture heavy entry!

We have entered the phase of the remodel I think is best described as “Zeno’s Paradox.” Stuff keeps happening, we’re definitely approaching being finished…without ever actually getting there. I am beginning to despair that I’m ever going to live in this house, just when I’ve discovered that the remodel is completely and totally excellent and I really WANT to live there.

Down the hallway is my office:

And the guest room, including the guest bath:

Upstairs there’s our room:

and our bathroom:

And the tile around the mirror:

The shower’s pretty good too:

All of the doors in the house kind of look like this:

The handles are excellent:

Out in the backyard, among the variety of landscaping, the barbecue area is finally coming together:

And the gate to the backyard quite nice, with a cool detail in the wood—cut-outs of leaves from the tree in our front yard:
