kitchen ceiling, new shower, front porch light and moving in

It has been a busy few weeks. We moved all of our furniture and "stuff" out of our home in Salt  Springs anticipating a November 17th closing. Although it is not finished, we  have moved into our cottage. The necessities are there but it remains a long way from being finished.

                                 The moving crew, Julie, brother Mike and son in law JW.

One necessity was to have a finished bathroom. To keep in the theme of a 100 year old beach cottage, we chose small white hexagon tiles for the floor and small subway tiles for the shower walls. A single row of light green sea glass tiles in the shower helps to keep the white from getting monotonous. The glass is bordered by a rope tile.

Here is Julie grouting the shower floor

Next was tiling and grouting the bathroom floor

We then put our efforts into putting some finishing touches in the kitchen. The beams are 2x10's. After the foam insulation was sprayed in, there was a bit over 4 inches of exposed wood remaining which we covered with a bead board material.

Also added some light fixtures above the bed for reading

I received an early Christmas gift from my mother and brother. This new found  (but not new) bronze front door light fixture as salvaged from a ship.
