The crown molding is all installed and looking great. It sure dresses up the place!
The base trim is installed upstairs and will go in downstairs after all of the tile has gone in:
In the master bath, Dirk designed a pattern that takes a 6" x 6" tile and makes it act as the base trim. I really like the clean look of it all. However, the pattern is complex and requires a lot of time for the installation. There are a lot of design elements going into this tiny room that will really make it special once it's all complete. (More on that later).
I opted for dark grout lines on the floor, as I love how it really calls out the hex tile, and because it's a very classic look to me. The walls will have light grout lines.
I'm beginning to think about carpet options for certain areas of the house and am anxiously awaiting the arrival of all of our countertops.

How exciting! Looks gorgeous! I love dark grout on hex too! That's exactly what we're doing in our upstairs bath. Nothing says "historical" like hex! Great job!

It is my first time commenting, but I have been a fan for a long time. I have really enjoyed watching this process, and can't wait to see the finished product. My sister lives in Liberty Lake so I know the area, and it is beautiful. Congrats, I hope you are enjoying the building process, it seems like you are getting to the fun part.

I love seeing the progress on your house! After a few years renting in countries far away from home I am finally moving home in a few months time, and I can't wait to buy a house and make it my own. I already have a picture of my dream kitchen in my mind, and spend way too much time planning and daydreaming about moving and making a home... but since I still have to wait a few months more to begin, I continue daydreaming and admiring your new house :)
