Driftwood Musings: Tile, Wood Trim and Paint Colors

The tile craftsmen have been busy as bees and have made a lot of progress. Unfortunately my photography skills need help and the lighting was not great so the colors are not perfect in these pictures.

Great Room Travertine floor.

The craft room, laundry room and pool bath are the same.

Pool bath shower wall. This is vein cut travertine and is actually the same stone as the floor, just a different cut and it is polished but the floor is honed.

The other bathroom upstairs and the master bath isn't done.

The carpenter built this to use building the trim for the arches.

The interior doors.

The blue that you see on the floor is a thick plastic covering that our builder uses to protect the finished floors.

This is one of the arches that the carpenter built the thingamajig for.

The cabinet maker left this crown sample for us to choose for the top of the cabinets. We chose the one on the left for the kitchen and butler's pantry. The center one is going in the study and the upstairs bar area. We are not using the one on the right. The wood that you can partially see in the background is a pilaster that is going to trim some cabinets.

There is still a lot of woodwork to be completed.

This guy is really good at his craft. He is using a garage for his cutting area.

Below are some of the paint colors that we are considering. The one on the left of each sample is for walls and the right one is ceiling. Choosing paint colors has been one of the most difficult decisions that we have had to make.
