Excellent details with the trim and the rest of the house. Its getting tons of character.
...... My favorite is that your using full size interior trim with actual sills and caps - woodwork adds a lot of character to a house. Neat idea on the candles too.
.....A lot of great custom touches.
........Love all the little custom pieces...
That's the kind of stuff that separates the tract houses and the custom homes but it's also what drives up the costs and build time too. For instance counting jamb extensions, those windows consist of ten pieces of trim, so window trim alone in this house adds up to 230 pieces. A conservative estimate would put this house at 2,000 individual pieces of trim.....each measured, cut, prepped, primed, painted, installed, holes filled, sanded, caulked and painted a final coat.....so yeah, a bit time consuming. But again it is the details that make the house.
Here's a pair of pocket doors into the library....one thing I like about these is that when you sit at the bar in the kitchen you have a view through the hallway, through these doors , out the front window and up the driveway to Paradise Road.
Here's a little stain matching on the Oak stair treads to match the tile....
The skirt boards and risers are painted to match the trim...
The wood ended up matching the tile really well....
They will get an Oak handrail with metal balusters once we're pretty sure we are done taking furniture upstairs...LOL
And speaking of furniture, my son in-law's parents built them this cool upholstered wing back bed....
Well, better get to work.....more later.
