I have been remiss in updating the blog. I’ve been caulking trim for pretty much the last 36 hours straight (with a brief break for sleeping), so I’m almost completely brain-dead and to be honest typing hurts because my hands are falling apart. All that whining aside, the house is looking AMAZING. I am going to let the photos tell the tale so I can get back to picking caulk out of my hair.
CARPET IS IN! This carpet is amazing – the day they installed it there was a mild odor, but by the next day it was completely unnoticeable – hooray for no-VOC all-wool eco-geekery.
BANISTERS ARE IN!
ISLAND COUNTER AND BEADBOARD IS DONE!
WE GOT THE TEMPORARY CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY TODAY! We are going to move a few things over the weekend, but the MOVE move will probably be mid-next week, since there is still some work to be done and we don’t want all our shtuff in the way.

Nice! It is coming together so fast. That will be really nice to move in and start the new year there!

Wow, it looks amazing! Sorry if I missed it in a previous post, but what brand is the carpet and where did you get it?

I imagine once the crying jags stop you will just walk around with a silly grin on your face saying “wow” every so often.

Kelly, the carpet is called Earth Weave, and we got it at a place in Ann Arbor called BGreen. Here is a link:

We got the Rainier in the color 'Granite.' We ended up going over budget on this selection, but decided it was worth it (and so far we're really happy with it!).
