Here is a view of the back porch/patio and gazebo, taken from the north of the house. That part is just about complete except for the screens and applying a protective coating to the cedar.
The following picture is a close up of the cedar, which is tongue and groove on this part of the porch. The french doors lead into the kitchen area.
This is the walkway from the porch to the gazebo. Since I was here last, the batten boards have been added to the cedar planks. Makes for a very nice finished look.
To take this picture, I was standing at the entrance to the gazebo. There will be a ceiling fan in here with a light fixture for evening dining al fresco. The concrete floor will be acid stained a color to match the cedar.
And here is more cedar, in my closet. It's a treat to walk in there and smell the cedar. I hope my clothes all smell like that.
Another big accomplishment is that the exterior painting is almost done. The house looks rather white in the picture but it's not a stark white, but a creamy white. Actually it's the same color as it was before. We liked it and didn't want to change it. This view is the east side of the house with the new double garage and pool room above it. The garage doors are a pretty forest green but they look black in this picture. The little room to the left of the garage doors is the master bath. My spa tub looks out that window. The downspouts, gutters, and trim are green also.
The interior is all primed, ready for the final colors. I'll wait to take pictures until the interior colors are done. The new six panel doors are painted white and have brushed nickel hinges. We have to get door knobs to match one day this week.

The colors do seem pretty true on my computer. Those doors don't look black at all.
Now that you have this fabulous kitchen, cooking will be ever so much more pleasant. LOL but you were always more highly evolved than I. Somehow I didnot get the domestication gene .
