FINAL WEEK....



open kitchen with quartz counter tops
One more week and 5528 West Wilson should be complete and on market.  The process of completing the final items always seem to take longer than expected but we are very close to being finished.  The kitchen cabinets and quartz counter tops are in.  There will be a butcherblock counter installed at the island.  Some custom open shelving was built for the kitchen walls to create additional storage.  A few more lighting and plumbing fixtures will be installed to complete the kitchen.  Located in the middle of the first floor, adjacent to the dining room, office and family room,  the kitchen provides a great central location for all household activities.

Second floor bedrooms and the basement have carpet.  Bathroom tile is complete and vanities and accessories are installed.  Trim work and all mouldings have been installed and painted.  Final bath accessories and the glass shower door are to be installed this week.

Exterior siding and trim is 75% done with the front gable sections remaining to be completed. Front and rear glass entry doors are installed.  The side entry will get painted and receive a new aluminum standing seam roof.

Although the house has received a complete modern renovation we have kept a few items which were original to the house.  The living room stained glass window will remain a focal point above the decorative brick fireplace.  Open shelving was rebuilt at the fireplace and a wood mantle will be installed across the top.  The 100 year old mosaic entry tile was in fantastic condition so this will be cleaned and sealed with no additional work needed.

Staging furniture and accessories have been delivered and I'll spend this week doing the final styling so the house is ready for photos.  This is the last and in my mind, one of the most exciting phases of work for any renovation project.  Hopefully by this weekend this work will be done.
