More Interior Updates

Chad's been making the doors for the bedrooms and bathroom and they're turning out beautiful so far.  My mom visited this past weekend and helped us paint our bedroom.  We painted it gray... I know that sounds weird because the cement was gray, but it evened out the tones of different applications of cement (some of the water used was dirty and there were patches) and we decided to stick with the gray because our room's color scheme is like a silvery/blue/dark wood.

First, though, I totally forgot to put up a picture from when Nick, an apprentice from the build, visited us last weekend.  He was so thoughtful that he brought us a housewarming gift... a well-planned custom-made shelf with scrap pieces of all of the different types of wood that went into building our house.  The end product is really cool and we can't wait to find a place to hang it.  Thanks Nick!
