Saw the progress on my brother's house today. The girls rooms are carpeted and the trim is going up. The carpet in G's room is pale blue - to match the color on the wall, and it has a pattern of very small squares, that makes an almost-herringbone type of pattern. B's carpet is varigrated pink and green stripes - to go with her pale pink walls. Apparently K found her canopy bed (sans canopy) on Craigslist. K will make the canopy for it (I suggested sari fabric - but we'll see what actually happens!). G's bed is something else - she found something she liked but it was $$$$$ to get the "kit" to make it. My brother will probably end up making it since she wants something pretty rustic looking, I understand.
The master bedroom carpet is a luxurious creamy beige - in a square relief pattern (and since we were wandering around the upstairs barefoot at his request, I got to sink my toesies into the pile - lovely!
Doors have door nobs and all. Thresh holds aren't in yet, but the pot lights are in and dimmer switches are working. Closet lights aren't quite in yet - but the wiring has been completed for it. The upstairs hallway hardwood floor is GORGEOUS - it had been installed but not finished the last time I saw it. It is stained and varnished a lovely pale amber color. And he's really thought very hard about how to turn the corner with the wood.
The tile has been picked out for both the laundry room and the hall bath (but not quite ordered - M is waiting a couple of extra days in case K changes her mind AGAIN).
As soon as the newel posts are complete and the railing is in around the stairs he can get the upstairs of the house inspected and certified for occupancy. And then his family can come home just in time to get settled into their new bedrooms before starting school.
In other news my folks are going away midweek, so I'll be moving into their house for a couple of days to care for their dog (and do lots of laundry!) and then I'll be leaving on vacation myself on Friday, when my brother will take over care of the pup until my folks return on Sunday.
