wisteria's white faux bois mirror
$349

i have been waiting for someone to come out with an affordable faux bois mirror for-ever!
thank you wisteria!
happy monday!

last week, i drove to see the house of a client. i brought along my nice camera to take some pictures, and when i got the camera out, i realized that the card was missing! grrr! so, you are going to have to deal with my iPhone pictures until i can hire a pro to take some "real" images. (and who knows how long that will be!)

the last time i saw this project, the wallpaper had not been installed yet, and the light fixture still had plastic on it.  i was so exited to see it all finished.

 i know some people worry about mixing trim, but as you can see here, the textures work
together beautifully. the halls have a horizontal board and batten banding treatment, painted slightly darker than the wall above, and the bathroom has standard board and batten trim with an alternating offset on the top 12".

 the sink console looks expensive, but it is actually very affordable. i put this same console in the powder room of my last house.
the mirror was under $80!

 the light fixture is also a budget find.

we just officially finished week 5 of construction, and a lot has been done so far! the entire main floor is framed and the second floor is not far behind.

here is what has happened in the last 2 weeks:



the entire second floor was decked and a few exterior walls have been framed and one has been erected...he's a little lonely right now, but hopefully by the end of the week, he will have
some friends.


the rest of the  walls were added to the main floor...this is a view looking into the master bathroom from the master bedroom.


from the kitchen, looking into the dining and living rooms.


we can now see all of the rooms and their sizes. this is a view from the front door.


headers over doors were framed. cased openings were set.


gravel was dumped and shoveled into the garage and basement, in preparation for the concrete slabs to be poured later this week.


unfortunately, our framers had another job they had to do, so they stopped working early last week and will not be back until the end of this week. i can't wait until the stairs to the basement are framed! this monstrous hole is about to give my husband and i a heart attack!
