Building our retirement home

This is the master bath with a better picture of Bambi overlooking the heated whirlpool bath. You can see we mounted a small TV above the door - so we can enjoy FOX News even in the tub!

By safe room I am assuming storm shelter?
Tornado proof?

Two of these are in the garage. One showing the floor texture I just put down and one showing the dog wash. The other is of our upstairs office. The window that is cut off in the photo is a cross. We put a light in the ceiling just above the cross, so we could light it at night. The only ones who could possibly see it would be in planes headed in/out of our local airstrip

Thanks much.

We went with earth tones to fit into the rustic mood of the house. The kitchen bar and fireplace are faced with the same Hackett stone as the outside, with sandalus granite on the counter tops and hearth. The sandalus has a petrified wood look.

All cabinets, doors and trim is oak. Much of our furniture is oak. The 18' vaulted ceiling, which may be partially visible in that earlier Christmas photo, runs 76' in length - encompassing both front/rear outdoor porches and the living area - is also solid oak.

Most of the fixtures are champagne bronze.

Let's just say ... we went a little crazy - LOL.
