Good morning! Hope all is well with you…..boy these days are going by fast and furious! There seems to be ANOTHER issue with blogger, many of my favorite blogs’ newest posts are not updating automatically on my side bar, how strange! I just happened to see that many of them have newer posts that I found by chance……very annoying. Blogger get it together!
And now that the back to school campaign is officially in high gear (much to my dismay) I really feel the crunch to try and savor this last month of August. I am escaping to the beach next week for a few days but not ?for the length of time that I had planned, just too much happening on the home front so 3 or 4 days is max. but its certainly better than nothing! My days are spent mostly getting things done for the house, but I am not complaining, whatever it takes to wrap this up! Hope you are having a great week, and savoring summer for all it is. So here we go….
HOUSE UPDATES. The gutters were put up this week, the porch is officially done, paint on the trim outside done, now they are working on finishing up the upstairs paint. Kitchen is moving forward, they delivered part of the butlers yesterday, its a slooooooooow process but as my kitchen guy explained it, they add to it one layer at a time. Patience IS a virtue, right? Thankfully I really love the way its coming out, so wait I shall. Bathrooms plumbing is getting done, templates are done for countertops, layer by layer things are getting done. For those that follow progress week to week, this might not look so different from last week, but I assure you it IS moving forward (trust me I would have it no other way)!! I think by next week I will have some signiificant updates especially in the kitchen and butlers pantry.
Second round of beams just got installed (the curved ones)
Bookcases done
Looking into the breakfast room
Looking into kitchen from family room…
Looking from family room into kitchen
Looking from family room into small hallway leading to dining room
Breakfast room second beams just went in
Looking from breakfast room into family room and kitchen
Back stairs
Eventual window seat in mudroom
Love this post…..
Sons tub done…yeah!
I love the way all the showerboxes came out, I put chair rails around each of them
Living room parquet floor just about done…
Herringbone in library complete!
Sm. powder room off library’s inspirations
Part of sink vanity in kitchen
Butlers pantry, OK I know it doesn’t look like much but just wait till this gets done!
In a week you will be loving this……
It is the darkest stain you can do, like a dark java, a love!
Sons bath floor done…
CURRY SCONCES. Always on the prowl for great lighting. I think Curry has some great looking pieces and the price point is certainly very fair. Then if you are really lucky, they have their Curry in a Hurry program where they stock many of their items, that ship right away….here are some of what I have found, what do you think? Click here to see more of their awesome things.
Ordered this for our main powder room
This is the matching chandelier
Love this one, ordered two pairs of these for possibly my bathroom
Very elegant looking, great powder room fixture
This comes in a few finishes…..kind of fun.
OK this doesn’t apply to me, but how great would this sconce be for a beach house?
BLUE BOOK. A few friends told me I had to get this book, all about the world of living and decorating with blue. One day Diane from The Buzz mentioned it again and right that minute I paid a visit to Amazon and bought it. What a great book!!!! If you like decorating with blue, you must, you must get this. It is chock full of incredible pictures, has all kinds of tutorials and even a pull out blue paint chart with?all the recommended faves. A must have!!!! I have been going through it a lot lately for divine inspiration…do you have it already?
GORGEOUS CUSTOM RETURN ADDRESS STAMP. I love this line, just ordered it for someone as a housewarming gift. It came out so pretty, and she was so excited! I loved it so much just ordered one for myself…..love this line. Click here to visit the Etsy shop online.
MARIEBELLE TEAS AND COCOA HOUSE. Do you like tea or coffee? If so, have I got a place for you! ?If you are lucky enough to live in the NY area, then you should pay a visit to MarieBelle. I first found out about them when I saw one of their tins and fell in love, I then googled them delighted to see I could order online! Then I found out that there is a tea/cocoa house/salon right in NYC and vowed to go on my next NY trip. Eventually I was able to go and it was such a special treat, a scene right out of Paris! They serve many different flavors of aromatic teas and hot cocoas, along with desserts, pastries and chocolate….whats not to love! Click here to to go to their site……
Outside is just a hint of the charm inside…
Inside the flagship store where all the goodness lies……..
How charming is this!
Their famous silk screened chocolates…they are the original!
A GREAT WALLPAPER/FABRIC COMBO FOR BACK POWDER ROOM. To set the tone, I have included visuals of the powder room console sink, sconces and faucet to be used. I found the simple but great wallpaper in gray and white and this goregous fabric, it has birds and I LOVE birds. Its the pale blue that I love, with pops of gray and white….thoughts? I love to know what my savvy readers think, think its nice with the marble….
This is the console sink going in there…..
And here is the faucet
And the sconce going in that bathroom….
And here is the wallpaper and fabric I am considering….. now that all the “suspects” that are being used have been lined up for you to see…thoughts please!!
Well that’s what I am loving this week! How about you? Anything special on your plate or that has crossed your path that you are loving? Always love to know! Wishing you an enchanted Thursday!
Well dearest, your castle is really coming along. THose beams are MY last dream to fulfill in our sweet home. My new family room has the vaulted ceilings, but our builder said he would build the beams and possibly install them in the winter. WHAT A GORGEOUS color scheme you have going with the natural/neutral grays and wood. I AM LOVING THIS THURSDAY CHEZ TOI! And chez moi, some new plantings will go up today to enclose our little courtyard and create a cozy outdoor space. OH THE FUN! ENJOY THE DAY, Anita
Hello Tina! I have to say I love the parquet flooring, are you leaving it in the gorgeous unstained/unwaxed finish? The shades are divine, but then I do have a passion for chalky bleached wood! I think another favourite has to be the window seat, very Pride and Prejudice! Warmest of wishes from an old farmhouse in England in the rain! Glenda xxxxx
The bathroom tile is beautiful, Tina, and I love the inspiration fabric for the powder room. What color stain are you going to use on all of your incredible millwork? I also love the custom address stamps. They’re a lovely housewarming gift idea.
YES to the powder room/wallpaper combination. I LOVE IT! The house is coming along so beautifully, its all in the details and you my friend, have not overlooked a single one. The workmanship is awe inspiring. Love the stamps and sconces, Mariebell looks incredible will have to pay a visit next time we visit my sister in NY. Be well and have a great day.
Love the wallpaper/fabric combo—and your vanity as you know those are on my mind at the moment. And I love Currey & Co. too….just ordered a couple of chandeliers for a client. I am lucky to have a showroom here in Dallas. The stamp is a great gift….I need one.
OHH MYYYY GODDDDDD – THAT is ur HOME – ummm LOVE! – it’s freakin’ HUUUGGGEEEEEEE – i’d DIE! — ur floors with the chevron, AMAZING – and the carerra in the bathroom NEVER can go wrong! … now i’m in la-la land dreaming of building a DREAM home! – lucky u my love!
Coming along so nicely! I am just in awe of every square inch. I am wondering if you could post a floor plan of your gorgeous home? It would be nice to really get the layout as it progresses. I love the sons bathroom, and I can’t WAIT to see the butler’s pantry! It is all just so beautiful! And I say don’t worry about the cobwebs ~~ your ceilings are so tall you will NEVER notice them :)! I LOVE THE BEAMS!!!
Tina, I don’t know where to start! First- the house looks fabulous. The quiet before the store. It is almost there. I know that you are so excited. The fabric and wallpaper for the bathroom is perfect, and the bathrooms are great. The fixtures are gorgeous, and I a headed over to check out their line. Have a great day, and do not work too hard! Teresa xoxo
Lovely home and nice colors. I tried the Etsy link for the address stamp but couldn’t get it to work. Would you please post the name of the business so I can find it on Etsy? Thank you.
The marble in the bathroom turned out fantastic and you even have a stunningly beautiful mudroom – I’m not surprised…Needing a new address stamp. I have an embosser right now and it’s getting a little worn – loving the first one!!
I’m dying over all of your floors and I love your sons bathroom!! The wallpaper and fabric you’ve selected for your powder room make me genuinely happy, like I would spend extra time in that bathroom just to stare at it regardless of what it might make people think. It’s honestly so wonderful to see someone take all of my favorite things and put it into a house!
Sooooo much gorgeous- adore the tiling in your son’s bath and as always, your house is the stuff fairytales are made of. The sconces and lighting are all entirely too gorgeous and I’m loving the fabric/wallpaper selections. I can not wait to see this done- it’s going to be magic!!
I adore the choices for the powder room…that paper is sublime with the marble in there, and that console sink is a timeless treasure. I’ve said it before, but it bears repeating, the thing I like best about your house is that it is going to feel like it has always been there the day you move in, and 50 years from now it is going to be as fresh and gorgeous as it is today.
And P.S., Blogger is giving me fits too! I never appear to be logged in from my main page…and it will not let me comment anywhere with my google account name…
Tina, I ADORE the color of the beams!!!!!!!!!! It is gorgeous! The fabric and paper for the powder room is beautiful. Would love for you to stop over some time. XO, Pinky
Hi Tina, I wish Dear Anonymous would not worry about dusting your cobwebs when there were so many other things to remark upon! Where to start? Love the floors, they are so gorgeous, especially the libary *thats my fav* and the silvery blue wallpaper with the gold, so yummy! Yes it is going to look magical, cobwebs and all!
Tina, Your dream home is unfolding beautifully. All the materials you have chosen are top notch!!I can not imagine how excited you must be. It looks like you are starting the fun part. Wallpaper, fabric and lighting. Your home is going to be wearing some lovely jewelry with all the beautiful sconces you have chosen. Love the wallpaper and the fabric, so elegant. Thank you for the heads up on the book, I have to order that one for sure!! xo Kathysue
Oh, how I love Thursday’s on your blog! Love the tub in your son’s bath and the shadow boxes in the showers are grogeous. I have a similar niche above my range for my salts and pepper and love it. The lighting, fabrics and wallpaper are so divine!!!
Hi, Tina. Do you ever sleep? What a diverse post, chock full of house pictures (everything is looking fabulous) and so many design tips. I love the fabric and wallpaper you have chosen for the back powder room. That tone of light French blue is also a favorite of mine; then add the birds and you cannot miss. I plan on getting the Blue Book pronto. Enjoy the beach.
Hi Tina, I’m loving the butler’s pantry already….that’s exactly the stain I would have chosen! I can’t wait to see the colors on the herringbone and parquet floors! Stacy
Hi Tina, Let me start by saying, your house is looking beyond fabulous! Everything you choose is perfect, I love the fabric and the wallpaper for the powder room. I must try MarieBelle next time I go into the city… Thanks for all you tips!
You are doing an amazing job…your ‘castle’ is coming along beautifully, I’m in awe of all the gorgeous spendor! The woodwork is simply breathtaking…every square inch of it, and the bathroom is so pretty…and it will be even more so once the rest of your choices are made…a dream come true type of bath. It’s all going to be (and already is) stunning!!! xo J~
What a house! OMG, just spectacular! Who is the designer? I love all the woodworking, the ktichen/butlers looks like its going to be out of this world. And your bathroom combinations, A+!! I have and love the blue book, and will check out those lighting fixtures, they are so beautiful. Thanks. Great blog btw, newest subscriber!
I’ve always wanted a Butler’s Pantry! I imagine yours will have gorgeous glass-front cabinets with lighting that bounces off every sparkling piece of crystal and silver – a jewel box – like the powder room…and that powder room wallpaper is PERFECT, soothing like falling water. I live vicariously – ha!
Dear Tina, We are adoring all…can not get over how the project is turning out! All your time and hard work is paying off and the finish project will be your Gorgeous HOME! I’m so excited for you. Go take a breather at the beach because when you get back there will be plenty of work. Thank you for sharing all your inspiration with us!
Your home is really coming along and your attention to detail is amazing. Love what you did to your sons showerbox his bath is really fabulous! I have the sconces you bought for your bath and love them. Otherwise what am I lovng for this Thursday….it’s almost Friday…lol.
You know how much I love everything you’ve created with your lovely home and all this waiting will all pass and it will feel like Christmas enjoyment all the time! All things just keep getting better.
I love everything you’ve selected: the bathroom paper, soft fabric (stunning sewn up as a tunic too), lighting fixtures absolutely perfect and elegant. Console sink, faucet and sconces I can see them in place…great selections.
My Mom use to say, as I got older, that I had the gift of the “patience of God” to do the many things I love doing. Especially when I designed, sewed, and hung all the drapery in my home for 26 windows. When you know it’s right you feel it and nothing drives you more that that feeling of confidence, accomplishments, and lists, lists, lists of course.
The Blue Book is on my wish list at the moment. Address stamps are wonderfully unique (love rubber stamps), chocolates did you say chocolates then you’re speaking my subliminal native tongue…lol
MarieBelle looks fabulous, toffee, coffee, chocolate, and tea who can live with thee!
Everything is coming up roses for you because of your generous spirit Tina. I Love that about you Thanks for sharing. Glad you’ll be taking a beach break here soon too…hugs and kiss to Teddy.
Gotta have the return address stamp! Lovely and well-to-do! And, I have a trip coming up to NY, so I will have a list of places to visit, some for the first time, others repeated. But I will definitely stop in to MarieBelle’s!!!! As always, love watching the progress of your home! Wonderful in every way! xo
Tina, Always love the beautiful updates of your amazing home. Was just thinking as I scrolled through today how fun it will be to see the furnishings process as well. Thanks for taking us all along on this amazing journey. Have fun at the beach. Mona
If you’re any more excited about the progress of your home than I am, then I don’t know how you sleep at night (lol)! Everything is truly beyond magnificent. You’ve paid attention to every detail. Your wallpaper/fabric combo for the back powder room is just right! Love all your flooring, beams, marble, stair post, etc. Now the fun part starts when you begin furnishing & decorating your home. Hope you’ll carry us along on this journey, too. Meanwhile, have fun at the beach!
Tina, your kitchen and family room are are going to be all over magazine covers. I love how all of your choices and details are coming to light. This is so much fun watching it come together with you. Your choices for the powder room are lovely, it will be amazing. Love the console and faucet. A very European look. Hope your weekend is lovely………
Tina, Your magnificent home is coming along. I just love your gorgeous woodwork and those towering windows! The wallpaper for the powder room is stunning! Thank you for the info about the return address stamps. I’ve been looking for one! NOw I am off to see what they have! Have a blessed weekend! Yvonne
I think the wallpaper/fabric/tile combination is just gorgeous. Soft colors that will surely make a statement when used together. I also love the console sink (obviously, we just put one in our own home!), the faucet, and the sconces. It is going to be so elegant. I bet you can’t wait to see it come together.
Wonderful things today. Amazing progress on your home in today’s photos. I just ordered a personalized stamp yesterday. I just missed your recommendation. Blogger trouble for me tod ay.
I love what you picked for the bathroom. Love the wallpaper. I would go with that. The house is coming along beautifully! I always look forward to Thursdays! Oh and don’t forget to send me a moving card, so that I can send you a housewarming gift!
Your bathroom selections are stunning, and so similar to mine. Can’t believe we have picked the same porcelain vanity (although mine is a cheap knock-off) and we are going down the same path with colours fittings. Can you tell me what your wallpaper and fabrics are? Unless you prefer to keep it a secret! Just beautiful. It’s so inspiring watching your build take shape and now seeing all the lovely details.
Veranda Sept. Issue features a beautiful dining room on.pg. 104 & 107that has hand painted wallpaper with birds and a gorgeous gold chandelier. Love this look! Think it would be so pretty in yourbathroom. Check out the issue!,
Well Tina, it’s coming along at a fast pace now. The beams and high ceilings are breathtaking but it’s the little rooms that I love and can’t wait to see- like the butlers pantry- oh how I’ve always wanted a butlers pantry- and the mudroom and powder room. So exciting to watch. Thank you so much for sharing.

How in the world are you going to keep those ceiling beans clean? For that matter how are you going to keep the cobwebs out of the ceiling corners?
Adore the sconce you’ve chosen for your powder room! And that gorgeous fabric and wall paper – I say absolutely YES!!!!
I just got a personalized stamp and love it – so fun you received one as a housewarming gift.
And the house looks beyond fab!
Have a great day, Tina!
