Kitchen Counter Intelligence
Just a quick report to share a few spy photos from the fortress. Mission accomplished on the countertop, sink and faucet in the kitchen. The final quasi-industrial look reminds me of science class for some reason--in a good way--without the Bunsen burners.

Our Private Island
Now we're cooking! The kitchen is looking incredible with the island countertop in place. I was a little hesitant about my decision to go with the obsidian Paperstone surface, but I think the stainless really balances the dark counter by reflecting so much light. We love how the island adds some nice mass and creates a dramatic focal point to the space.

Be My LValentine
Valentine's Day is just around the corner and we're LoVing the LV. The cabinets are going up in the kitchen and the bathroom elements are coming together. We really got a sense of the space this weekend.
The light is simply amazing as it moves through the place. Not to mention the excellent passive solar heat from the southern windows. It was 39º outside, 70º inside, and the heat pump didn't kick on once during the day.
The cultured marble bathroom vanities look fantastic with the stainless steel basins and frames custom fabricated by L & L Metal Fab. The white, vein-free counter material creates a nice contrast with the dark wall tile.

Floors Galore
Interior painting was finished more than a month ago and the bamboo flooring is down.
This week I picked up a stainless kitchen sink with integrated drainboard from Teka. Should look great with the stainless base cabinet and obsidian Paperstone counter.
The Zen tub has finally arrived and the bathrooms are moving forward. The tile is going in and the stainless steel frames for the sinks have been installed. You can see the heat strips for the electric radiant floor system in these shots as well as the Ditra uncoupling membrane. My bare feet can't wait to try out all this great flooring!
