Guest Bath Vanity

This is the guest bath vanity. The wood is Cherry stained Mahogany, and the workmanship from S.C. Cabinet Company in Nashville is outstanding. It is beautiful, the hardware is on order and will be brass. The vanity top is cultured marble done by Dickson Marble. The Danze faucets came from Faucets.com and are brass. It is so exciting to have a vanity with water and a toilet!!!!

Uncovered Floors

The floors are in remarkable shape. Chris Gill owner of Innovative Designs in Lyles, TN sanded the floors and filled in the very bad places that had water damage. Today he and his crew started cleaning them and will start finishing them tomorrow. Andy picked out the stain and I will get the name of the stain tomorrow. Pictures to follow...

The above pictures are as follows:

Foyer, Ash and in remarkable condition
Large Upstairs Room floor, Heart of Poplar with repairs, these floors were in fair condition

Andy's First Installed Stall Door

Here is Andy in front of his first installed stall door! He looks like he's been working hard. We left the farm that day, June 14 at 11:30p.m.; we were pooped! The stall fronts including the doors are from Ramm Stalls. They are a great company and I would highly recommend them. The quality is exceptional and the installation instructions are easy to read!

Stable Interior is Making Continued Progress

Here are the pictures: the first one shows how I get the work to progress! The remainder of the photos show the interior progress through yesterday. Almost all of it was done by Andy and Michael; I helped to get the wood placed inside the last two doors and helped get the first door runner up.

Stable Pictures Coming

I just realized that I don't have a photo of the finished stable on the recent posts. So here it is! The exterior lights are not in yet, and the shutters are not on, but you get the idea. The interior is to the point now that the stalls are going up (so exciting), but the bad news is that Michael leaves for DC Friday...We will miss him SO MUCH!

They've Started the Cabinets!

met with Seth and Jessica Brown of S.C. Brown Cabinet Company in Nashville last Friday morning. I have signed off on the plans and the cabinets will look beautiful. They are making all the cabinets in the entire house which includes the kitchen, master bath and guest bath. All wood will be Cherry and the kitchen cabinets will be painted with Sherwin Williams Jersey Cream. The master bath vanity will be Dover White and the guest bath vanity is stained a rich Mahogany color. I have picked out the pulls and knobs from HGH Hardware in Nashville for all the cabinetry. I ordered them this morning. Did I mention hardware is costly?!!!! The cabinets should be ready in about 3-4 weeks. Eagle Fabricators in Nashville have my marble and granite and are awaiting notification from Brown's to fabricate. pictures to follow!
