BulldogTom Posted November 19, 2014 Report Posted November 19, 2014 I am so happy with this kitchen. It is not complete yet, but getting close. HMMM..can't get the attachment to post. How do you do that again. Tom Hollister (Soon to be Newark), CA Quote

Gail in Virginia Posted November 19, 2014 Report Posted November 19, 2014 I just love an uncluttered kitchen - the bare design of this is great! 3 Quote
BulldogTom Posted November 19, 2014 Author Report Posted November 19, 2014 OK, maybe this time it will work. Tom Hollister (Soon to be Newark), CA 7 Quote
BulldogTom Posted November 19, 2014 Author Report Posted November 19, 2014 Love the backsplash tile! Yeah, me too. I picked it out. Tom Hollister (soon to be Newark), CA 3 Quote
Margaret CPA in OH Posted November 19, 2014 Report Posted November 19, 2014 It's beautiful and now you are moving? We did something similar before moving from Boston to Cincinnati. Beautiful tile in the entry, remodeled the half bath, then moved. So sorry we didn't get much use out of it but know it helped sell the house. Quote
jklcpa Posted November 19, 2014 Report Posted November 19, 2014 That's very nice, Tom. I see you included a selfie in the second picture. 1 Quote

Margaret, This is the home we are moving to, not moving out of. We are renovating the kitchen, two bathrooms and putting new flooring into the whole house. In addition, we have done some plumbing and electrical upgrades. My day job is CFO for a General Contractor, so I got a really good deal on the project. My wife was at the house when the sub contractors were working last week. The tile sub yells at the plumbing sub that he better do a good job for the owner of the company. The plumber yells back "to hell with him, I want to keep Tom happy so my checks keep coming!". I thought it was kinda cool that they recognized that my signature is on the bottom of the AP checks. I expect to get 3-4 years of happy enjoyment from this home. After the kids are done with college, we will decide where we want to move for retirement. Newark is a nice place, but the SF Bay Area is not my idea of a retirment community. I think we will move back to the Central Valley and work on building up our tax practice there.

mcb39 Posted November 19, 2014 Report Posted November 19, 2014 I really love the second kitchen. I didn't care much for the one where you couldn't open the drawers. Good Luck with the move and the new home. We will all be waiting for you here. Thanks to technology. Quote
BulldogTom Posted November 20, 2014 Author Report Posted November 20, 2014 Here are pictures of the hall bathroom and the master bathroom. The tile on the floor in the hall bath is a bit hazy still from the grout, but the color is shiny black like the accent in the tub surrond. The master bath has a dual shower system, one for me and one for my wife with an adjustable shower head for her (I have been told that women like to take a shower and not get their hair wet, but not having much hair, I would not understand that). Sorry to keep bragging, but I am really liking how this is turning out. Floors go in Friday, moving day is Sunday. Tom Hollister (Soon to be Newark), CA 7 Quote
