By the end of April 2010, the Project Noe house is only a few weeks away from completion. The front door is now installed and is ready for some paint. The garage door and surrounding trim are also ready to be painted black. The glass showers and glass in the railings are some of the next items to be installed. The large sliding barn door was installed and is a nice functional touch for the media room.
The limestone fireplace in the living room is an elegant focal point for the room. The backsplashes in the kitchen are made of the same Walker Zanger Helsinki Winter Mist marble as seen in the powder room bathroom. The Uline wine fridge in the kitchen and Sub Zero wine fridge in the downstairs bar area have also been installed. As you can see from the pictures, the Thermador fridge is almost installed, and the 48-inch Wolf gas range looks great against the white painted cabinets. The recessed lighting and the contemporary ceiling lights in the dining room, breakfast nook and the bedrooms were also installed. In the bathrooms, Toto toilets were installed along with sinks and vanities. Since there are only a few remaining items left to complete at this point, these will be the last pictures of the work in progress. Stay tuned for pictures of the completed home. Thank you all for following along as we complete our first project!

A few weeks after our last post, changes included the installation of the Seagrass marble countertops on the kitchenette/bar in the lower level. All the tiling in the lower level bath is done, the trim and window casings are also installed. All the doors in the house are now hung. These doors are all solid core wood and nearly 1′ 3/4″ thick.
In the kitchen, the |Walker Zanger| Silver Dusk marble slabs have been installed and look great. The faucet in the kitchen island sink is by |Dornbracht| as well as in the prep sink. The wooden upper cabinets in the kitchen are nearly ready to paint. In the powder bath the 12 inch diameter sink has been installed. In the master bathroom, most of the marble tile work is completed, along with the cultured marble wainscoting. The tub and Dornbracht tub filler are installed along with some of the controls for the steam shower. The picture of the backyard shows a crew from the |San Francisco Chronicle| interviewing our landscaper on site. The article should be published shortly.

As February rolled around, much has changed in regards to the interior of the Project Noe house. Installation of the walnut hardwood floors was completed, along with the railings for the main staircase in the house and on the backyard stairs. The thick marble slabs in the master bathroom are a honed Calacatta marble by |Walker Zanger|. It took 3 slabs of this marble to cover the 9 foot tall walls of the nearly 7 foot by 5 foot shower. This luxurious steam shower will feature |Dornbracht| Thermostatic dials which have a built-in thermometer to ensure the desired water temperature. The shower will also have 4 body sprays, a rain shower, a handheld and a steam outlet.
Pictures below show some of the interior tile work in the bathrooms as well as the start of trim and cabinet installation. The floor tile in the top level hallway bathroom is a Helsinki Silver Dusk marble by Walker Zanger. The coffered ceiling over the living room and dining area adds a formalness to the space that matches well with the trim and base boards. One of the pictures below shows the cabinets for the lower level bar being installed. This bar/kitchenette for the lower level will house a sink, dishwasher, cooktop, microwave, and a fridge with ice maker under the counter.
