Interior stucco, closets, and counters

I'm on the build site for about 3 weeks. Our designer Rob is here for a week, which is allowing us to really nail down the details for appliances, tile selection, and kitchen design. Internet access has been spotty, so I'm going to cram a bunch of pictures into this one update.

  1. Scott, this is really interesting. What a grand project. Jen and I are travelling to Lo De in February so we will be sure to drop by for a look.
