Downtown Luxury Slum

This week, a little more work was done with tiles and plumbing in the bathrooms.

We had a bunch of leftover hard wood. We used some on the ceiling beams and set a bundle aside for the back of the island and decided to drive the rest back out to Whole Log Lumber in Zirconia, NC. Luckily I own a large cargo vehicle capable of carrying over $1000 worth of lumber. So we loaded up the Prius and headed out to spend a weekend in the mountains after returning the lumber. While we were hanging out waiting for our return to be processed, we explored their facility and left with a few ideas for the next renovation.

The reclaimed wood floors were not a must have item in our renovation, but their a choice I am so glad we made.

Did you see that herringbone tile?!

And completely off topic, but I highly recommend checking out downtown Hendersonville, NC. It is super cute, full of antique shops, kitch shops, bakeries, at least one cidery, and one place offering wine tastings.
