Everything is coming together for the interior finishes and exterior stucco. The new wood floors were stained and the existing wood floors were sanded and refinished throughout the first floor to match. Three part baseboard moulding has been installed in the addition and repaired in the existing. The baseboard will be enameled white. All the kitchen cabinetry is installed including crown moulding. A few tweaks with the upper cabinets are necessary, but other than that we are ready for the stain.
The base coat of stucco should be wrapped up today. It takes about two weeks for the initial coat to dry. If any cracking occurs this will be patched before the final textured coat is applied with color to match existing. The current dark gray color will lighten as the moisture evaporates.
The stacked dining room images are before (top) and after (bottom) and show the new arched openings and widened stairs.
The new bathroom tile upstairs is currently being installed with great attention to detail. Each 3 x 6 piece of beveled carrera field tile is carefully installed by hand with 1/8" grout joints and equal end modules. 
Ceiling tile is 12 x 12 as well as the top 1/3 of the wall tiles. The carrera marble has a wide variation of color in the stone. Some quarries produce a carrera that is only white and gray, but this tile has yellows, cremes and softer whites. It has a wonderful warm quality to it and will look excellent with the cabinetry.
