Carpet and other things

I've been getting a bit behind on updates, but recently we had the carpet installed by Abbey Decorating. Here is the carpet in the guest bedroom. We also got the bi-fold closet door and trim installed after the carpet was laid:

Here is a shot of the stairs from above.

 Here is the master bedroom. It is the same thick carpet as the other bedroom. The color works well with both the red and green paint in those rooms, as well as the rich color of the cherry trim.

 Trimming is a bit tricky against an ICF wall, since you're shooting nails into just drywall and styrofoam, but if you use enough at some creative angles, it holds plenty well.

Moving past carpet, the master bathroom is all done as well:

Doors and appliances

We have been making good progress on the doors. They are now all hung.

It takes a while to get it right, but this is something you do not want to do in a sloppy manner, as you'll pay for it later.

 

Some of the doors have had the hardware and trim installed as well.

In addition, appliances were delivered over the weekend from ApplianceSmart.

Kitchen progress

Just a brief update - all the upper cabinets are hung and finished:

Countertop Progress

We've been working on a lot of things but mostly the kitchen and bathroom countertops. Here are some new shots of the kitchen:

 Getting $70/SF corian for $4/SF = WIN.

 We built little boxes out of extra flooring to hide the utilities under the cabinets:

We also finished up the vanity in the guest bathroom, adding tile splashes:
