Getting there~Progress photos

Hi all.

So excited to report that progress is being made. We're scheduled to be finished by the end of the month (fingers crossed). This is a whole house renovation of a 1940's Cape. We downsized a ton from our last house and we are so glad! Feels very cozy and right.

Only base cabs have been installed. Templating for marble perimeter counters was today. Waiting on island, uppers, appliances, pendants, etc. ....but I'm so happy to see it coming together.

I included a photo of the brick floor in the mudroom/half bath because someone was asking about brick flooring in a post recently.

    Very Nice.
    The cabs look great as do the floors.
    Especially the brick.

    I love seeing the progress. Please keep it coming! Your house looks a WHOLE lot nicer than the 1940's capes I've seen.

    The upside-down pulls will be very useful for storing Cheerios between meals. That's hilarious.

    Good luck with the rest!

    upside-down pulls - catching (landing spot) for cheerios for the dog! one less dish to wash....

    Thank you for the pics! I was wondering the other day about your reno schedule. End of the month?! Wow! That's a lot of work done very quickly. I'm very much looking forward to seeing those cabs with their hat on.:)

    Your house is looking fantastic! I love everything about it! Also love the light in the foyer and that brick floor is awesome.

    It looks wonderful so far! We, too, downsized and are almost done with an extensive renovation...it was definitely worth it for us, despite living through it. Looks like it definitely will be for you, too!

    Beautiful Katie. So glad you're doing marble counters again. Love the brick floor. What are your other floors? Pill

    Looks fantastic so far!! And the kitchen looks so spacious in the pics - it doesn't look like you're downsizing there! Love the floors - both wood and brick!

    I loved your last kitchen and this one looks like it is on its way to being just as nice. Would you mind sharing the wall color you chose?

    Love everything. Can't wait to see it finished especially the banquette. Love banquettes!
    Can you please tell me what color your cabinets are? I take it they get painted once installed or are your doors/drawers natural?
    Would you mind sharing the manufacturer of your pulls and the great lantern sconce in the hall?

    Thanks. Looking forward to seeing more.

    When it looks this good without much in there you know you have good bones. Very exciting!

    Looking good! Maybe the drawers are upside down...

    Love, love those old heart pine floors. Wish I had those! Love seeing the progress, can't wait to see more!!

    Thanks all for sharing my excitement!

    This week should be busy, so I hope to have more to share soon.

    Cabinet color is BM White Dove. The interior of the drawers is natural maple.

    Pulls on the banquette are by Schaub (thanks Kateskouros) and the upside down bin pulls (Cheerios catchers, love it!) are RH Gilmore.

    Wood floors are wide heart pine.

    Brick is Robinson's Thin Brick in color English Pub.

    Mudroom Sconce is by Visual Comfort via Circa Lighting

    Wall color is BM Balboa Mist. I went thru many samples looking for a crisp light grey with no undertones. Grey is so hard, but I love it.

    Thanks,
    Katie

    Looking great! How deep is your bench? We are putting in a bench also and I am concerned that it is too shallow.
    Thanks!
