Doors and Floors

Here is our new back door, all installed and everything. If you open it, you can see the old blue back door.
Below is the kitchen floor. That sponge at the top is where the fridge will go, and to the right, you can see some stuff in the future home of my double oven tower. The very bottom of this picture shows the edge of the island.
Most of the floor pics do not give a good idea of the color of the stone. The floor is really dirty from all the concrete and the dust from cutting stone. To give an idea of what it will all look like when it is clean (I think my housekeeping can improve on the current state) I took a picture of the inside of the wood storage box. See how pretty and colorful that is? That is what the floor will look like, with lots of gold, bronze and dark gray.
I'm impressed with the care that goes into this floor. Greg checks that level in every direction, to make sure each new piece of stone is in line with all the others. See the big piece just above his back in this picture? That piece is right in front of the stove. They consider these things when they place each piece.

That floor is going to be SO beautiful! I'm glad to see more of it - Dave and I were looking at the photos last night and discussing whether it was all basically one color or if there were different colored (like the darker bronze) stones as well (it was hard to say from the old photos if those were stones going in or understones/padding underneath, if that makes sense) - now I see there is a mix! Lovely!
Can't believe you didn't want to keep the blue door ;)
