Above you can see the egress window in the boys room, and as a bonus, lying against the wall next to it is our finished leaded window for the front, with the diamond pattern - I was able to find someone to apply the leaded tape the way we wanted it, for a reasonable price. I think it'll look fantastic!
It's fun to go up every day and see the new progress. Check out the lovely "checkerboard" glass tiles in the shower, we're also going to be seeing them as a backsplash for the sink.
This last picture was taken before the grouting, but you can see the skylight in the bathroom - the extra light it adds will be great.
We're also seeing why they call it "mudding." It's messy. I have to say, though, the contractors have really made an effort NOT to bring the dust and mess from upstairs down into our current living area.
From the early decision to build a stairway outside to the second floor to now, they've really minimized the amount of "tracking through" the house, and we appreciate it. Of course, some mess can't be avoided, but it really has been less than I expected.
Above you can see the front reading room area with the built in bookshelves now finished with drywall. The mudding has begun, but will take a long time, due to all the weird angles and such.
In other news we picked out a bunk bed (on sale!) for the boys, and we're awaiting the paint samples to finalize that choice. Bunk bed is below. Are we asking for trouble with 2 climbing boys??? Time will tell.
