Crisis solved, and other updates

The house is painted!  We chose a new color and the exterior has been painted.  In pictures it really doesn't look all that different, and honestly it's not that different in person either, but it did take the brightness of the last color choice down a tad, which is exactly what we needed.  It looks a lot better - honest :)

Here is a better close-up of the gable, you can see the tan accent color on the grate and the brackets

And here is the side dormer so you can see what's going on over there...

AAAANNND, the inside has updates too!  We have real stairs!

....railings are up on the back porch (which will be screened soon)

And, the master bath is getting tiled!  Here is a shot of the whole room with the floor tiles (a 12x24 light grey porcelain that looks and feels just like a natural stone), and the shower tiles and accent installed so far

Here is a close-up of the shower tile and accent - it has a subtle vertical stripe on all the tiles and the accent is a split-face dark grey stone tile

That's it for now.  Some of the tile for this bathroom is still on order, so it wont be done for a little bit.  The rest of it is the same look and feel as this, just in various sizes and configurations.  Hopefully I can upate soon.  The floors were finished this week, so we haven't been able to get in the house for a few days.  I think today they are starting to work on the coffering in the living room so that should make some good pictures this weekend...and then hopefully the kitchen will get movin!
