I LOVE this way better than the builder's!!!

Love how the curve look and how it really opens up the space.

I also want to jump from the balcony onto that chair but I know I would kill myself. LOL! I guess the kid in me thinks it would be fun....

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

Hell, I thought I was doin' good just by ripping out an old, incorrectly installed bathroom fan.  :p

I have to re-route the venting through an exterior wall -- that I can't see except from the outside.  :p

I would have opened up the area under the stairs too. I think they use that as a pantry though.

It is said that branches draw their life from the vine. Each is separate yet all are one as they share one life giving stem . The Bible tells us we are called to a similar union in life, our lives with the life of God. We are incorporated into him; made sharers in his life. Apart from this union we can do nothing.

No it's a craft closet, it has orginizer cubes full of craft stuff and a rolling craftsman tool cart so I can gather the things I want, put it on the cart and roll it into our study to work on stuff.  I have a pantry in my kitchen.

The treads will hang over the steps 1" on the front and side of he steps. I have the job of painting all the wood that you see (after he finishes the last few steps) the trim color.



I'm going to paint the hall to our bedroom and selected walls (and perhaps the upstairs hallway) the color you see in the bottom picture.  It's two colors down from the current wall color on the color sample swatch.  The paint is Sherman Williams (holy crap their paint is expensive). The current wall color is called Kilim Beige (SW 6106) and the color I'm going to paint selected walls is called Latte (SW 6108).

Because the door trim isnt thick enough for the wainscoting my husband is going o have to beef it up like this..



We are going to do something I like this the to the top on the tops the doors frame.





I forgot to grab a picture of it all painted but I have another example done by someone else.



Here is what adding a little molding can do for a room.



Ah, I did have one. This is finished trim from the first example.




Our half bath is getting wainscoting, built in magazine rack and a medicine cabinet/mirror that looks similar to the one in the bethroom remodel my husband did in our house in Fullerton.



Here is the mirror he built for the bathroom in Fullerton.




I started priming all the wood.



We were going to use 1/4 MDF for the smooth part of the wall for the wainscoting but by adding that it would have added 1/4" overall and would have caused us problems so my husband is going to smooth the walls himself (using joint compound) below the wainscoting. I wish I had smooth walls... :rant:

Wainscoting down this hallway, crown molding at the ceiling. A little cubby/hall tree thing. Similar to this but configured differently.

BEG, does your husband have any, uh, free time to himself? Go out and get a beer? Slay a poor, defenseless Bambi or Thumper? Work on his car? Exercise?

Methinks you're slavedriving him pretty good.  :lmao:

He put a coat of joint compound on the wainscoting walls tonight.  He will add a 2nd coat tomorrow. We had to go to a local fine woods shop for two specialty steps and for the arch around the balcony. My husband drew up the size and shape of what he wants and they will fabricate it to a certain point.  He ordered the other treads from someone else (knotty Alder -superior) and the Newell and baulusters are from another compamy.



Ignore the railing. It will be gone.

So many of my replies are vesta like, stream of consciousness. The first thought that occurred to me is the 10 to 1 ratio. This thread is holding steady at slightly better than average reply to viewings ratio. I attribute that to the good remodel tastes of the OP, and the OP's tenacity in keeping the thread, and all loyal readers up to date.
