The scaffolding is gone!

The front door, free of scaffolding!
Upstairs, painted.

Daisy has to check out her new house too!

April 13, the first thing we noticed is that the scaffolding was gone and we could see the whole house. It was our first look at the interior after it was painted.

The inside is being painted.


April 11 we arrived to find that the inside was being painted. They were using a huge sprayer for the painting. Of course we didn't go in the house. The color is nothing exciting. Everything is white--no choice in that. We will paint once we are moved in and do it slowly.

The stucco is complete


April 10 we arrived to find that they had applied the final layer of stucco. We still didn't know what color it would be though. Not much happened inside.

Changes on the inside.

Entryway with texture on.
Pantry shelves
Walk in closet in Master Bedroom. Not the D-Mark on the Right.
Oustisde with the first round of stucco on. Right now it has a very fine type of texture. It is not as rough as the final layer will be.


Texture has been sprayed on the walls. The first layer of exterior texture has also been applied. It was really surprising how humid it was inside the house that evening. We aren't used to humidity in the desert! Interior doors and shelves have been installed.

The outside of the house.

Front.

Side. This is the side by the stairs. Those are the windows going up the stairs.
The back. The window is in the living room area.

The tour moves upstairs

At the top of the stairs. This is looking into the Master bedroom. The Laundry "closet" is on the right. To the left you can see the doorways of bedroom #4 and the hall bath.
Master bath. Tub and shower area. The shower will be enclosed with glass. I love the windows around the tub. They are textured glass. I think a few plants on the tub ledge will look lovely with all the light.
This is bedroom #4 it will be my stamping room. Also the room where the birds will sleep.
Hall bath.
This is also bedroom #2. It faces the front of the house. This bedroom will be the den/office.
This is the second floor of our house. I don't have any good pictures of the master bedroom or bedroom #3.

A tour of our house

Kitchen from the back door. The stove will be between the two small windows. The door from the garage is to the left. The pantry is to the left also. The counter will be a bar.
The dining area.

Living room/great room

The stairs. I love the windows along the stairs. There are 3 of them and at the top is a larger window of the same shape. You can see the front door and the small window by the entry.
The top of the stairs.

We had a "dusty walkthrough" so I thought it would be good to give a cyber tour of our house so far. This is what it looked like April 1--about 3 weeks after we committed to this house and first saw it framed.
