(Not so) Suddenly Done!

After many months of neglecting this blog, we're back with an exciting update...the house is officially finished and under contract!  Happily, we negotiated a long close period so we have a couple of months to figure out our next move/project but for now - the professional pictures from BTW Images (with commentary, of course):

All the landscaping work paid off - looks lush and green!


Walking through the front door - the formal living room.  And so much wood floor!  We remember installing every piece...
Close up showing the fireplace with reclaimed barn wood beam for the mantel

To the left of the front door, a den/reading room

Moving into the family room/kitchen space, featuring Brian's custom built barn door to the pantry

Close up of the island with marble countertop and walnut bar top slab

Eat-in kitchen, featuring custom walnut table built by Brian and built-in banquette

Same space, different angle
More kitchen

Is this overkill on the kitchen pictures?  Probably, but I never get tired of this space

I'll miss you, Wolf range

One of my favorite features (and one that was replicated from our last house): double outswing French doors.  It feels so airy and spacious when they're open
Just rounding off the kitchen space - please note the stairwell, which very nearly killed us with its difficulty and stress

Finally moving on - into the pantry (with giant wine fridge because...wine)
Formal dining room (with yet another custom-by-Brian table)
Mudroom with built-ins
And starting the parade of bedrooms and bathrooms.  With six bedrooms and five and a half baths, I'm not sure I'm going to post pictures of each one but this is the first floor bedroom (with en suite bath)
And one of the five full baths (so much tile work)
Moving upstairs - hello stairs!  You look so nice for something that was so time-consuming and stress-inducing!
Entrance to what we like to call the second-floor living room (but will probably end up as a kids playroom in its next life).  More barn doors.  Barn doors seem to be becoming our signature look
Master bedroom with accent wall
Some of my other favorite spaces - the master bath

Definitely going to take at least one more swim in this tub before we leave

Hello closet!  You make it so easy to be organized.  I'll miss you when we're living out of boxes again

Another bedroom
Another en suite bathroom
And another bedroom
The jack-and-jill bathroom with double sinks
Down to the basement - another reclaimed barn beam mantel over the fireplace


Wet bar in basement
Another bedroom

And another bathroom (no wonder we're tired of tiling!)
And, finally, the media room

The outdoor patio with fire pit

Longer view

The twilight photo shoot!
