This week was devoted to tile and septic work and some exterior painting prep.
Before I really get started, I just wanted to show you this photo of my vanity countertop. I simply love it.
Non-sequiter: Trout and I felt there was too little green in the house, so we're going to have the back hall painted the green of the paint ball splotch on the right.
Now this will be the real test of my ability to follow Katie's suggestions. This plan shows where what colors are going to go on the exterior of the house. You should be able to click on it to make it big enough to see. It's been raining so much here this Monsoon season that our painters can't finish the job before ours or start ours yet.
We were very excited to see the tiling started on the backsplash behind the cooktop. Dave had to mount the rangehood to get things right. There will be a 2" blue border (like so many other places in the house) along the top of this tile. You can see the electrical outlets above for the pendants. The bottoms of the lights will probably come down to level of the bottom of the rangehood or to the top of it where it goes into the vent. They should be about centered on the 2nd step of the design.
The guest bath tile got its initial grouting done. There may be some touch up required. See if you can find the mistake. There will be lots of little things like this in the house for the kids and grandkids and the generally curious.
Now here's my vanity with the sink in place but not grouted yet. That back wall will be a terra cotta color. 
And this is the master tub with initial grouting done.
See if you can click on this picture and see the stars on the pony wall.
The border in the master shower was finished this week, but not yet grouted. This is the back corner.
And this is the shower head wall. The controls will be on the valve and the head will be on a sliding rail right in the corner. 
The septic got covered up this week. This is a view of most of the system from the shop deck.
This is the area to the west of the tanks where we will eventually put a ramada.
After the septic was finished, this little area was emphasized. We hope to create a small, uncovered sitting area here. It's a nice sized outdoor space that feels secluded and protected but provides a great view of the mountains.

Those tiles are to die for--and the sinks? Wow. I'm jealous.
And nice job on the photos! It was great to be able to click and see the details.
