The biggest difference in the house this week is the first layer of primer is on some of the wall. They are priming in the same colors I chose, so the photos above give you a good feel for house the great room will look.
The countertop and hearth for the outdoor kitchen are completed. We chose concrete, due to its durability, the fact that it is very economical compared to natural stone and that the installers could mimic the color and features of the fireplace mantel. Concrete countertops are still fairly new. Getting the color just right took some trial and error, and at one point we thought we might have to put tile over it, but the installers were eager to please us and were able achieve the look we had imagined.I am finalizing the tile order this week as prep work for the hardwood floors and painting, inside and out, continues on.

Looking awesome! Curious: what is the cutout under the stairs? (Looks like a fireplace insert, or maybe a small storage area??)
The area under the stairs will be technology central. The smart box will be under there, and that area will house some other electrical stuff, too.
So the doorway going to that area will be a bookcase that opens, like what our Anthony Street house in Columbia, if you remember that.
The cutout that you mentioned will provide backdoor access to the entertainment center, which will be on that wall. Randy wanted to be able to have easy accessibility to the TV and components. He designed the "secret" bookcase, the entertainment center as well as other built-ins throughout the house that the cabinet maker is building.
