Crane Fountain Flowing

 

A nice sound

Before and After of the Primary Bathroom

Much like the kitchen, this is not completely finished, but we have been living in it for a while now.

Bathrooms are hard to photograph, so you can't really tell what is going on here.

The wall on the left side of the image is the east, outside wall. There is a window in that wall, covered up by the mirrors. In the '80s, this bathroom was renovated to add a tub and a fur down above the tub, I am sure to preserve heat, but it made it very difficult for me to stand up. There was only one showerhead (on the right of the photo) and the tub was a standard tub length. The mauve tile was installed at the same time.

We removed the fur down, have two shower heads, and installed Vetter Limestone countertops. The tiles are all Motawi Tiles. You can see it in a previous post, but the accent tile under the ledge in the shower is a Wright licenses design that is used as a motif elsewhere in the house.

We retained the sliding three mirror solution to the medicine cabinets. The window is just barely visible on the right

You can see both shower heads in this photo. One is in the mirror.

There was only one sink in this bathroom

Now we have two. And you can see the window!

Before and After of the Kitchen. This is exciting.

 Every day we are just a little closer. But the kitchen feels good. Very good.

We are waiting for some glass work (diffusers for the overhead light and a glass front for the cabinet) and some undercounter lighting, but otherwise almost done.

Take a look! And scroll down to the end for some bonus material with Melvin and his Guests. 

These images should be self explanatory, so I will not be making many comments

We've been cooking in the kitchen, and it is fantastic. Now, I had done some workflow studies before the kitchen was finished, and came up with some paths and collision points:

My path is in red, Doreen's is in blue. This is mostly accurate, except that Doreen doesn't conform to her path on the right side of the island to the refrigerator. So that causes a little bit of inefficiency.

But we are still able to bake bread like this:

Steam oven on the left, conventional on the right

so it is a good place to be.
