Laundry Room Countertop Replacement

The replacement countertops for the Laundry Room arrived a couple of days ago. They haven’t been installed yet but what an improvement over “drama marble.” This is WilsonArt Hebron White.

Den Built-ins

Image
At the front of the house off the foyer is a room that on the original plans was a formal dining room which was open to the great room. A formal dining area doesn't suit our style of entertaining so we walled the room off, separating it from the great room. We plan to use it as a small den for watching television in the evenings.

Instead, we will be eliminating the wood trim and adding a third row of tile, which is the fireplace Zuniga Interiors had proposed all along. I, however, wanted a more traditional look since none of the houses we've owned had a "normal" fireplace. This is a very bad rendering of what it will look like.

I was lucky enough to find enough yardage on eBay. Reupholstered ottomons
