Things have been (and are) humming here at TheCottage the past couple weeks!
The wood floor was installed last week!
It looks every single bit as awesome as I was hoping it would!
Floor in. Stairs are next on project list.
We’ve been working on the stairs — three different flights of stairs! Have I mentioned we have a lot of stairs here? We do. In fact, we have four different stair “cases.” We live in a multi-level cottage. Never, in a million-zillion years, did I ever think I’d live in a multi-level home. Shoot, I didn’t even like multi-level floor plans. Until we found our cottage.
The stairs. We opted not to put wood on them. We wanted something different. Something with character. Out of the ordinary and unexpected. There is always the option of having the wood installed on the stairs at a later date, but for now, we are diggin’ the idea of painted stairs!
We’re using floor and porch quality paint for the stairs. Any color can be mixed, but we chose from the samples on the brochure full of color swatches. I always get more than one of the brochures, so I can pull the chips off the card for better viewing, then have the card/brochure for reference.
I/we put every.single.one of those above colors to the test. I called in back-up for decision making (thanks JoLynn!). A final decision was made.
Crossing my fingers that the counter top will be finished and ready by Monday.
Expecting it more like Wednesday or Thursday.
