So the finish carpentry has come to a close -- we'll the wallet needs to be closed so we're done with everything that really needed to be done. Gus and Ricardo did a fantastic job. One of the things that we appreciate so much is that we felt that we could really trust these guys - they had a key to our house, worked when we were away and just got the job done. They really cared about the quality of their work and we feel that they did an A+ job. These photos show some of the latest additions to the 1790 house.
Here you see the custom master closet -- we're still figuring out who gets more hanging space but this is one closet that may actually fit all of our clothes!
Master Bedroom fireplace -- we decided to go pretty simple here...you can see the sconces above it -- and the mud that we had to apply becuase we tried to install the sconces just a little bit more to the outside and discovered -- that's not where the wires were!
Guest bedroom fireplace -- this was Gus's creation -- more ornate but still classic.
The centerpiece of our living room is the old cooking fireplace. We decided to keep this one pretty true to the original. With modern code, we had to expose more of the brick than was in 1790 but we like it.
These are obviously bookshelves -- they are in our office and will finally provide a home for our extra large collection of books!
