After many, many months, I've found the sofa and matching seat for the house. 

Leather. I didn't want leather but when I saw this I fell in love. It sorta echoes Frank Lloyd Wright's mid century modern Craftsman retro look. Sorta. Strong geometric line, and upholstery tacks which typically I dislike but between the line, the color, the leather, the oh so soft leather, it all works. It will be delivered after the floor is sanded and stained in mid July.

Finally got the pool "balanced." Going with non chlorine, copper based treatment. 

Looks very nice. Always nice to look at.

The big news though is the kitchen is almost 100% percent functional. At last!!!

Thanks again to Bill and Cindy for the faucet!!! The style has also inspired the industrial look juxtaposed with a hip craftsman style in the kitchen. 

Paint colors: the dining room ceiling is "Copper" and the walls are "Sahara Shade"

Very cozy.
