Tile, Tile and More Tile!

Lots of tile work has been going on the past few weeks.  We are finally done tiling the master bath. 
We used carrera marble throughout the master bath...
This is the fireplace in the master bath where we used the same tile with the greek key pattern on the floor.  We will be putting in a marble surround that matches the marble vanity countertops.

This photo gives a better view of the shower...lots of subway tile!
Jason also tiled the fireplace in the master bedroom...this was the fireplace that had the fake granite surround.

Wade spent last weekend working on piecing together the trim for the doorway between the master bedroom and master bath...
We've also made good progress on the upstairs laundry room.  All the gas and water lines have been run and the venting is nearly complete.  Wade installed the cabinets and Jason finished tiling the platform for the washer/dryer.

We're Getting Closer

Jason continues to make progress on the master bath tile...we're hoping to have the tile complete this week.
The tub surround is almost ready for the tub to be installed...plan is to install it next Saturday...
Here's a close up of the tub backsplash...Wade designed all the tile layout in the master bathroom.

We spent Friday night at Menards gathering supplies for the laundry room.  Wade made good progress getting the cabinets installed in the upstairs laundry room.  This is the room that is adjacent to the 2nd floor screened in porch..we're not sure what it was originally used for.
Among other things, Jose has removed the old green tile from the dining room fireplace in preparation for the new granite surround.  He also had to dig out the hearth, fill with sand and then put in cement board so we had a level area to lay the granite.

 
Some of our furniture that we ordered back in January is starting to arrive...another sign that we will hopefully be moving in soon. Here are the 2 chairs for the front living room which will go in front of the fire place.
A close up of the fabric on the chairs...
Wade is also anxiously awaiting the day he can enjoy his new theater room...he definitely has some comfy seating...
