Post #21: Granite Slab Selection & Staining

The large windows in the great room have been protected with paper, tape & plastic to allow for staining. The beams on the ceiling look amazing, if I do say so myself.

The princess balcony...er, DD7s balcony...is complete with railing, newel post, and balusters.

DHs office looks executive with the beginnings of dark stain.

Granite slabs lined up for approval.

We've been busy with appointments of the past couple of weeks. We've met with the painters (they're great!) to approve stain samples & confirm what color stain goes where. We've met with Phil, the Concrete Guy, who has helped us design our stamped-concrete patio. We went to the granite yard to select & approve our granite slabs. We met with the landscaper once again, who by now, must be really tired of us. Can't leave out the light store appt.

The application of stain in the house has really impressed me. Having refinished several pieces of furniture myself, I can appreciate the skill of the men doing the job. We visit the house daily and talk to Mike, the Stain Guy. Honestly, I'm surprised he's not grown a couple of arms as a result of being around all the fumes.

We have approximately six weeks left!
