Cape Cod Remodel: Floors, Paint, and Tile!

Things are definitely coming together at the house now!  

• The cabinets have been delivered (as of last night)
• Paint colors picked and mostly up on the wall
• Guest bathroom/main level bathroom tile installed
• Kitchen floors sanded and stained
• Kitchen back splash picked

I seriously struggle picking paint colors.  I know what I want the room to look like but I can never find the right tones.  I asked our builder what the color was on the exterior brick since I loved it so much.  We decided to paint the majority of the house the same color - BEHR SCULPTER CLAY!

It looks so great - warm, comfortable, sort of gray/sort of brown, it's just perfect!  I think it will go great with the kitchen cabinets and granite.  Here's a picture of the Sculpter Clay with our back splash and cabinet sample...

For the kitchen back splash we decided on this glass subway tile in the BEACH color.  We tossed and turned about the Beach vs. Platinum color but in the end, we think Beach will just make everything flow better.

Here's our Master Bedroom with the Sculpter Clay paint - it looks great and cozy in the bedroom.  It's funny that the kitchen and bedroom get the same western exposure but the paint feels totally different in the two rooms.  It definitely feels more gray in the kitchen and more brown in the bedroom, which is perfect!

Here's the view looking in to the kitchen - sanded and stained hardwood floors so they're ready for the cabinet installation today!  The wire hanging down will be a speaker - we have 4 speakers in our kitchen to play music and two outside on the deck.

This bathroom below is the main level/guest bathroom.  Before, it had vinyl tile that looked pretty horrible.  The tile labor was not part of the contract but we had to do something about the vinyl since the rest of the house looks so lovely.  I'm LOVING this beautiful tile we picked and think it keeps the character but definitely makes it feel a little more modern.  I think it looks great with the white subway tile.

The project is going on almost 6 months and Spring is officially here!  We spent both weekend days at the house since we wanted to build a new garden for the backyard.  It's not finished yet but here's the work in progress...

We're so anxious to get back to the house this upcoming weekend to see all the progress made this week.  The cabinets are getting installed today, granite is being measured tomorrow and will hopefully be installed by the weekend.  It's so fun seeing everything you've picked out the last 6 months come together!  Just a few more short weeks to go...we'll keep you updated!
