Paint and stone - 02/25/06


The exterior is painted. The interior is primed and the some of the finish coats applied. The stone fabricators, Creative Stoneworks, have almost completed the installation of our marble. The kitchen and bathroom countertops are finished. Thanks to Keith Hembree and his crew at Creative Stoneworks: the details of the stone work are meticulous. Billie Jo Mouren of Coastline Cabinets guided us through the process of choosing our cabinets and she ordered them for us. We'd still be trying to figure it all out if not for her. Keith and Billie Jo are the best.
