Windows and Doors!


For some reason I thought that our contractor said that he would start with windows, doors and floors.  I got 2 out of 3 right.  Now that all the mechanicals are complete, the contractor officially began on Tuesday.  I went over this morning and snapped some pictures.  
We have a front door!
I know that I've fussed that the style of this door doesn't match the rest of the doors in the space.  However, it really matches the exterior space.  I'm pretty stoked about it.  Now I just need tips on what paint treatment I give it.  Do I go purple like the double doors that face the yard, or give it a dry paint technique like the front door of the main house or do something different?  Tips?

We also have a bedroom window.

The view into the back nether regions of our neighbor's yard isn't fantastic, but it's the best we can do.  I wanted the window to line up with the door into the bedroom, but it really cuts into where I was thinking to put a dresser.  I'll have to think about that some more now.  It's amazing how you look at a piece of paper or a drawing on your computer and think that you have things figured out, but when you see everything in reality you realize that it might not quite work.  

They also fixed the headers and got things ready for when the kitchen window eventually arrives.
The window is still going to big big and beautiful and glorious.  I can't wait.  They were cutting the hole for the bathroom window as I was there so I imagine tonight there will be a bathroom window as well.  I hope that we have now reached the point where there will be visible progress each day so that I can put in notice on the apartment when I pay next month's rent.  Fingers crossed.
