Carpet
We had the carpet installed the first week of November. We absolutely love this carpet. The only problem is that it has made us realize how truly crappy the carpet is in the rest of the house.
Fireplace and shelves
I finished the fireplace too. The mantel is cherry wood, as are the cabinets. The shelves are maple stained to match the cherry cabinets. (Neither the mantle nor the cabinets are stained.) The rock work took much longer than I expected. Lots of cutting, especially around the shelves. I'm really pleased how the fireplace and shelves turned out. It really is the focal point of the room. I'm going to install granite tile to the counter tops.
Cabinets
I finally got the wall cabinets installed. I still need to install the rest of the base cabinets, including a built-in desk. The cabinets are cherry wood. They were about 5 shades lighter when we got them. I didn't like how they looked initially. I put them in the garage with the door open for about two weeks. They received a lot of sunlight, and darkened up nicely. They are perfect now. I really like how they look.
Bathroom
I ordered the vanity from Costco. It came with the granite top. The bathroom is done except for the shower.
Guest room
Nothing much new here, but we did put a bed in the guest room. Gina still needs to finish furnishing and decorating it...
