Marie's Kitchen and Bath day 2
There is not much to show after day two, sorry. The guys finished up the electrical in both spaces. They also had a long day of patching and mudding drywall. The bathroom looks so much larger without the wall seperating the vanity from the shower area!!!! Weds will be an exciting day since they are working on setting the cabinets (at least that is the plan that I know). There will be photos to share later.

Marie's Kitchen and Bath day 1
The bathroom demolition was a little more tricky. All the plumbing had to be temporary capped off and they had to inspect for damage to the floors. (thank goodness there was none) That was not in the budget....... With the vanity torn out and the countertop and medicine cabinet gone, it was on to removing the old flooring (it was only two layers......that was a treat). Then it was time to remove the wall that seperated the vanity area from the water closet and shower area. That automatically gave us another 6-7 inches of space in this bathroom. That is great for this growing family.
Marie's kitchen and bath day 1
Day 1 in Marie's kitchen went pretty well. The demo was relatively quick work, they were done by noon time. Then they got to work running the wires for the new electrical (undercabinet lights, recessed lights and new outlets for the desk area). They will be doing electrical for most of the day tomorrow too. As before, there is Ross, Troy and John.
Guest room re-design in McLean
The client is having company visit later this week. The guest room was pretty bare and the bed was pushed up under a set of 2 windows. We moved the bed and bedside table to the right hand wall and that made a cozy little nook for the guests. We purchased art and hung it in an interesting arrangement. We added a small accent chair, floor lamp and some accessories and any guest would be comfortable in this room for a visit!!!!
The top photos are the befores and the bottom photos are the afters.
Bedroom Redesigns
Well the client wanted a more pulled together look in her MBR. I loved the rug and used that as the inspiration for the overall colors in the room. The first photos (at the top) are the after shots, the lower photos are the before.
We moved the furniture all around so that it would make a statement in the room. We added a leather accent chair, with a complimentary throw. We purchased new art and accessories for the room and what a difference a day made. The client was thrilled (to say the least)

The guys are test fitting the small cut tiles near the window sill. Oops, that one is too large. Back to the tile saw to trim it down a little.
The pattern is looking great. It gives a lot of interest without being terribly busy.
The amber accent tile picks up the color in the "accent" glaze in the cabinets.

New Venetian Gold
And there it is.......New Venetian Gold with a half bullnose edge.
Stay tuned, Tuesday will be a busy day of finishing up all the small details that the guys can. Set the tile backsplash, install the last few pieces of trim, level the cabinet doors. Then we just have to wait for a couple of replacement doors from the cabinet company to be able to finish completely.
Granite at Edy and Jim's
The granite is in!!!!

Edy and Jim's kitchen day 3
Wow this was a very exciting and productive morning.
The flooring was delivered so it can acclimate for 72 hours.
The cabinetry was also delivered and we spent some time putting the puzzle pieces together.
(or so I say........a couple of phone calls to Cindy and we were all set)
Most of the cabinets are unpacked and some are being placed this afternoon.
The guys will be setting cabinets the rest of the day today, tomorrow and Friday.

Edy and Jim's kitchen day 1
The guys (you'll meet them tomorrow are John, Ross and Troy) arrived at the job site just around 9am and we reviewed the plans and the details.
They made great progress with the demolition during the day today and we were able to save the old cabinets and countertops for the clients to donate to "Project Mend-A-House". www.pmahweb.org That is our way of going "green" with this renovation.
I will have photos tomorrow for you to see and more updates as the project moves along.
Thanks for tuning in and see you tomorrow:)
