Laurier, almost there!

The last week is always a bit hectic but it is amazing to see how things can still look really rough only a few days from completion.

Yesterday was our big 'cleaning day', meaning I removed all debris and scrubbed everything down, despite knowing that there will be more cleaning to do with a few trades still finishing up. But I always thing that is the biggest part towards bringing to life.

So here are some progress shots off my phone, of how a house looks just a day or two before we list (and why I work until 10 or 11 most nights in this phase of a project!)

Our new, high gloss brick fire place. Still needs the mantle stained and hearth tiled though.

Our kitchen has an endless list of small things to be done but it is looking exactly like I envisioned it.

I took that photo yesterday, and this one below on Friday, that's how fast it comes together sometimes (not every time though...)

Again, just two days before...

The house is a four level split and most of the first lower level is done in this incredible 12x24 grey tile that I adore.

All our new closet doors!

And my project for today, install this awesome Merimekko wall paper in the laundry room, courtesy of Wallpaper Direct.

I will take the big camera over this week and share the final shots!! Thanks so much for all your awesome comments (and patience while I have been a slow updater)
Have a great weekend!
