Drywall, Tile, Windows and Paint

Everything has been going along really well!  The windows are all in (except for one that we forgot to order up in the attic).  The exterior paint is really coming along well.  We love the color we picked.  They completed one whole side and the white windows really pop.  On the front of the house, we're adding another even darker gray trim color.  Here's the side that's recently done:


They're moving full steam ahead with all the drywall repair.  There are so many holes to be filled in both units!  The rental drywall should be done by mid-week, and then they'll move up to our unit.  While the drywall guys are working, our contractor has been working on the beams.  It's too dark for photos, but the holes they had to dig in the basement and yard for the poles are massive (this is to support the weight of making our unit open concept). 

The big accomplishment of the weekend was picking out all our tile for the 4 bathrooms.  We're doing both rentals the same, with a modern gray floor, white subway tile and a nice mosiac accent. 


For our two bathrooms, Jimmy and I couldn't decide between two options.  Both options look really good together, so we decided to do both!  We'll see which option looks better when it's done! :)

Here's a quick shot of our tile:

We're doing the marble in one bath with the tub, the streaky gray on both floors, the flat grey on the walk in shower with a blue strip through the grey.  Pretty exciting!

You can really see a lot of movement every day, which has been fun.  I thought we had some breathing room since we got the tile figured out.  Now they're looking for the backsplash and countertops....  Is there such a thing as decision making overload?
