Guest Bedroom Flooring Complete

The flooring in the guest bedroom has been completed.  It's a really warm cherry tone and is a great compliment to the blue and white walls.

The room is greatly improved with a floor in place.  Next is the trim work, closet and room door installation.

July Changes at the End of Wildberry Road

The brickwork on the road side of the house is complete.

The guest bathroom is ready for tiling.  The skylight and ceiling have been painted and the floor has been prepared for the placement of tiles as soon as we find just the right ones for Henrik's mosaic.

The ensuite bathroom has been painted and the tiles for the end wall chosen.  It will have to wait until the guest bathroom and bedroom are complete before we proceed any further.

The guest bedroom is very difficult to photograph.  The window and closet are on the right hand side of the room, the closet doors will be installed next. The floor was meant to arrive this week but sadly did not so we couldn't install it.

The left side of the guest bedroom with the skylight and strong blue feature wall.  The window trim will go in soon and the floor will go down as soon as it arrives. 

The half timbers around the new windows have been put in place on the second floor, the office windows are in the process of being completed too.  The trim needs to be painted next and the brickwork will slowly be completed over the next few months. 

The Nova Asters are looking very promising and we expect that August will bring a lot of blooms from these strong plants. 

The raised beds have been quite productive this year.  The Heliotropes and Alyssum bring a sweet smell to the garden and the remaining peas in the background have provided a lot of dinners for now and during the coming winter.

HK never stops :) The brown board has been added to the hallway leading up to the tower.

HK adds the trim around the kitchen window so I can get ready for brickwork.

I've added the hardware cloth with lots of galvanized ring nails around the kitchen window. Next weekend will come the scratch coat and perhaps the first bricks.

The half timbers were painted this afternoon!

HK has been working on the dining room window also to get ready for half timbering.
