Fence and Final Touches

We have not posted an update on the ADU since COVID hit and the world went sideways. We are still navigating our “new normal” with both our professional and personal lives, but in the meantime we wanted to share more photos of the progress with our ADU! Here are some photos that Ian took while he was purchasing the lumber for the contractors to build fences around the unit.

Here are some pictures of the exterior fences being built. We had a fence built around the exterior front door for a bit of privacy and security. There is also a fence built around the ADU’s patio area so that there is space for someone to enjoy a little outside time as well.

And here are some photos we posted of some “final touches” that we picked out for the ADU. Can’t wait for you all to see these things come together in the final product soon!

Custom Counter Tops

The kitchen cabinets are in, which means it was time to order the custom counter tops! We kept it simple and cost effective by choosing a composite. We also made sure to choose something durable and that will last for quite a while. We got the referral for purchasing the counter tops from our contractor, and the retail store had a custom counter top go-to guy who we used. It was a quick process that just took the afternoon!

Paint Picks

Here is another fun part of the entire process… picking out paint colors! We have always kept our eye open for inspiration, whether it be from Pinterest or from driving/walking around neighborhoods and store fronts. We knew we wanted to go with a modern and updated look, so we went to the paint store with a general idea of what colors we wanted.

We grabbed a few paint chips that we thought we would like. From here, we narrowed it down to the shades that we liked.

It’s hard to tell what the final product will be with just a small paint chip, so it’s a good idea to get a sample of the paint once you narrow it down to something you think you will like. We painted the wall outside to get a better idea of what it will look like with an entire unit painted. We let the paint dry and revisited again the next day. After trying this process at least 2 or 3 times, we finally decided on a super dark slate blue for the exterior of the house and a pop of color for the door- bright orange!

Flooring and Tiling Phase

The stucco on the exterior is complete and walls are ready to be painted! We have reached a huge step in building the ADU… flooring and tiling! I think this is a big part of the process because now you can really see the place starting to come together and take shape. We could see the light at the end of the tunnel, so to speak!

Here are some photos of the bathroom floor being tiled. We came up with a fun diagonal design using penny tiles. Can’t wait for the final product!

Walls are ready to be painted! We also made sure to keep the beam in the ceiling to add to the aesthetic.

And finally, here are some photos of the stucco from the exterior from start to finish. It was about a 3 day process total.
