Finished!

The drapes are up! The lights are on. It has taken 3 years to complete this modern day castle!

And finally, after many moons (and millions) it is finished! I had to run out west last week to do a little final touch-up. So I snap a few pics so you can see how things are winding up!


Empty rooms are ...


filling up!

When I finished glazing the master suite a couple of weeks ago the fireplace mantle looked like this. But upon return last week, it looked like this.

Beautiful!

Great job by Laura Ricker, one of the other faux painters on the job. Laura, is the best I know at wood finishes! This photo is a close up of the kitchen island.

She also finished these 12 columns.

More kitchen.


These cabinets, dining and entry and media were painted by Amanda Lundgren and her assistant Donna. Good job, girls!

Beautiful hand forged iron pot rack. Made in the wine country of California.




Lovely iron Cantera doors entry the wine cellar.




The walls are paved with Antique Chicago Brick Pavers. Awesome! Way up high in the game room.



Welcome home!
