Windows and Doors

The windows (or at least most of them) and the french doors came in this week, and they put them in. It is still hard to tell exactly what it will look like, but so far, so good, although I have to admit that I pictured them bigger. Here are the french doors from the outside:

I think it will be fine though, once everything else is in place. The design of the deck had to accommodate our entrance to the basement, thus the ledge in front of the window - still trying to figure out exactly how that is going to look like.

Here are the doors from the inside -- again, a little hard to tell exactly what they are going to look like since the dining room is shut off:

Here are the windows that will be above the cabinets on the east side of the kitchen, and the window that looks west - Sage has already found where she will reside on Saturday mornings:










And finally, my favorite window to the south(which has not yet arrived) where we will have the sink:


The pantry has been framed out. The door will be at the angle, and on the left outside wall we will have a floor to ceiling bookshelf for our cookbooks.

While we have already made many choices, it does seem like they keep on coming. We have chosen the tile -- it was between the Heath tile (nice, but 2x the price) and the Italian tile (buttery color, not yellow, but a warm off white). We chose the Italian tile, mostly because of the price. It is lower price because it is factory made, rather than glazed by hand. I love the Heath stuff, and in fact our dishes are Heath now, but I liked the Italian stuff fine. Here it is -- its the big one on the bottom:
Up this week? More windows, I think. We'll see.
