The Master Bath Takes Shape

The stone was also delivered for the Master Bath.

The floor of the shower is a single piece of Cosmic Black Wave. The same material is on the bath countertop and goes up the wall on either side of what will be a mirror. The stone rocks! What you can't see is that it has texture. Instead of being smooth it has some waviness. I like it more than I thought I would. Now a back-story....

I got a call a couple of weeks ago that the stone I had chosen was not available. They had stone, but it wasn't in sizes to allow installation without seams. It could be found, but would put the time-line to completion in jeopardy. But I loved the stone chosen, it was called "Black Wave". So, Jeff Troch as Design Surfaces says they have a similar stone in stock called "Cosmic Black Wave". I could come out and see it to decide if it would work. Well, scrambling around between work meetings, 2 trips to Raleigh, and the above is the result. I think I might like this stone better. But, it's one of those decisions that without each piece side-by-side, I don't have a clue.

Kitchen Countertops

This is ridiculous! Really! The countertop in the kitchen make a HUGE island. The counter is normal depth, but the slab on top hangs over by 24". Notice the perspective size of the sink. It appears small but it is not. The sink is approximately 40" long.

My kitchen is the coolest kitchen......

Backsplash and Cabinets

Things are moving fast. I'll try to catch you up on the progress......

Here David is standing in front of the kitchen cabinets. Above are spaces that open up. I'll need a stool to get to them; they'll be useful for seldom used kitchen items. On the right is the "pantry" where I'll keep some food and dishes. I don't have cabinets like most homes with places for plates, cups, bowl and etc. Since when am I a traditional person?

Rich in the middle, being held up with boards is the back splash. One giant piece of metal. Weathered. Finished. Just metal. I'll call it the "Conrad Reyes Feature".
