The Charles- Mostly done!

Our first open house was Sunday afternoon and it was a huge success.  We had several groups through the project, and we received two offers.  Not bad!  We're still finishing up the last few items at the project and will be 100% finished by the end of the week.  The crew worked late all week and even over the weekend, and got the project completed just in time.  The biggest transformation was the front yard, which got grass, paint and pavers on the last day.  The professional photographer is coming through tomorrow, but here are a few quick ones I took today.

In a former life, two of our best masons worked for a company that only did pavers for paths and driveways.  As a result, they always get creative with our pavers.  I love the pattern they chose here for the front walkway.

Here is the kitchen in unit 2.  This layout is really perfect because you can put stools at the island for quick meals, but there is a big space to the left for a full dining table.

Red House once again did a great job with the staging in the loft.

The biggest hit at the open house was this white tile backsplash, which is in units 1 and 3.  Thanks to everyone who voted on the poll here on the blog.

This is the same kitchen from above.  The darker grey counters contrast really well with the white cabinets.

The windows in the light shaft are a unique feature that really bring a lot of light into the building.

The back of the building got one more coat of paint.  As dog owners, it was important for us in the design stage to have a grassy area in the back of the property.

The front area also has some grass and flowers from Old City Green.
