All the different rooms of the Coastal Living Magazine Ultimate Beach House are finally taking shape!

Over the last week, sheet rock went up in the basement and the second floor, and as soon as it is dry all the walls will be painted. According to our Idea House construction manager Terry Howe, wall-painting is likely to start Thursday of next week. The first floor will have wood walls only, which should really give the idea house a unique, beachy feel.

Hardwood floors, something we are very excited about, are supposed to be installed in the Ultimate Beach House toward the end of next week!

Walking around the Idea Home is already becoming a great experience. Over 80 can lights will be installed in the ceilings – the most a house has had at Seabrook! Check out the pictures below where you can see this feature and many more.

The outside fireplace is almost complete on the outside of the house, and the breezeway should see soffits added within the next couple weeks.

Enjoy this week’s picture updates as the Coastal Living Magazine Ultimate Beach House is coming together right in front of our eyes.

For a second week in a row, the interior of the 2010 Coastal Living Magazine Ultimate Beach House is making steady progress!

Insulation, provided by our sponsor Johns Manville, is all but done and should be completed tomorrow. You can see how the interior of the house looks with insulation in the picture updates below.

We also have pictures of the air jet tub and fireplace (by Fireplace Extrordinair). The wooden surround on the fireplace was put in place this week and we were finally able to snap some pictures of the Mirabella air jet tub that is quietly waiting for everything else around it to be finished.

The exterior of the house is seeing some significant improvements as well. The trellis, in-between the guest house and garage, is up and awaiting light fixtures for completion. It really is a great aesthetic touch to the back of the house. Again, pictures of it are right below.

The plan for next week is to begin sheet rocking and continue with the siding of the house. In a couple weeks we are expecting the hardwood floors provided by Armstrong and the tiles in the bathrooms.

Hope you enjoy this week’s picture updates, can’t wait to see how the Idea House is going to look like next week!
