More of the bedroom set. Note closet does not have racks for hanging clothes just yet . . . and organizer company is coming in to do their magic.

Hand knotted rug from China . . . well . . . it looks Southwestern.

Phase I DONE! Phase II DONE! Phase III in progress . . . next week or maybe spring?

Well, a tour of the progress. This is the living room . . . that is and early 20th century Lawyers case that my Grandfather Miller used to display his jewerly.

Bedroom . . . not the best of pics. That is a custom made bedroom set out of Texas cedar.

Yup! We are getting there . . . Thursday is the final inspection and hopefully a Certificate of Occupancy.

Lights, doors, action

Yes, they arrived . . . it took 12 weeks . . . but the doors are in from Ohio made of Kentucky hickory by a guy from Georgia (he did share with me his life story when explaining the delays yadda yadda yadda) . . . I kid you not. It looked like a crate for a casket and weighed about as much . . . and was as difficult to get into as a casket . . . or so I've been told.

Well worth the wait. Double door from livingroom into masterbedroom suite.

French doors (because they have glass). View from livingroom into foyer (Roxie's room)

Closet and pocket door. Pocket door was stained prior to being hung. Pocket door leads to bathroom.

View from foyer into livingroom.

Double door from masterbedroom into livingroom and closet door.

Lighting in bedroom. Fan has veil of mystery . . . actually put there to minimize dust from tile saw . . . wish I had a video of Deb putting it up . . . it would sell like hotcakes.
