more progress

The one great thing about going out of town (when you are in the middle of a remodel) is seeing all of the progress when you return! It's much more dramatic when you can see a full week's worth of work at once. I am thrilled because so much was completed in a week!
The new wide planked oak floors are in. They haven't been stained or sanded yet as I still need to decide on a color. The bannister is missing from these photos as that will go in next week.
Also, the dark french doors in the photos (both upstairs and downstairs) are going to be sealed tomorrow so they will be painted white and trimmed with new moulding this week too. 
The fireplace was installed and the new mantle will be built this week too.
The marble tile in the bathrooms is done. The finished plumbing, mirrors, sconces, toilets and vanities will go in later this week. 
The painters are about 60% done. The paint looks a bit yellow in my photos. It's actually a very light off white/tan and I am really happy with it.
We are getting down to the wire and I am having my "girls weekend" at the house in two weeks regardless if we are done or not. But I do have my fingers crossed ...
