Yippee for stairs! (and other fun stuff)

It is so exciting to finally have stairs in the house! The front door is temporarily closed off and the entrance is from the basement now. The cement slabs have been poured for both the basement and the garage. The front porch has not yet been done.

Our master bathroom tub has arrived. It is a Kohler Sojourn Bubblemassage air tub.
The master bathroom and laundry room areas are finally framed correctly, to match the plans from the kitchen designer. Here are the half walls for our master bathroom shower. There will be glass above each half wall and a glass door across the opening.
Here is a shot from the master bathroom, looking down at the awning that was built off the back of the garage as shelter in the patio area.
The stairs only went as high as the second floor today, so DD still couldn't get up to her bedroom, and we took her picture standing one floor down in the master bedroom window area. In her bedroom this whole triangular window area will be a large window seat.
It was good to be able to stand in my sewing studio again. This is looking toward the larger section of the room...

And this is looking toward the narrower section of the room...
The newly poured garage floor...
So, everyone deserted me tonight - DH and DS had tickets to the Pens game and DD and her friend Ashley went to the high school musical (DH and I are going on Friday night so I didn't want to go tonight). I spent the evening at Lowes getting some details written down about the sewing studio counters and looking at vanities for the kids' bathroom. I think this is the vanity we'll go with (only in a 48" width). It is the Crestview Warm Sienna finish vanity from the Cross Creek collection by Kraftmaid. The counter is King's Gold granite with an undermount sink.
I think we'll also get the matching mirror/medicine cabinet...

Tomorrow I meet with the kitchen designer to go over the changes I want to make to the island. On Saturday morning we meet with the builder and the electrician and the architect (and who knows who else) to walk through the house before the electrician gets started.
