Kitchen!

Good news everyone! The counters were installed today, and the appliances were delivered. It's starting to look like a real kitchen.

It's hard to get the colors right with my phone's camera, but it looks great.

The sink is in.

Craig works on getting the microwave/stove hood installed. This will be a huge space saver.

Already we're glad to have the ceiling fan. It cooled the room nicely.

The stove is in the living room still.

And supposedly there is a fridge in this box. Not shown, but delivered today, was the dishwasher.

This is the light over the sink. It's fluorescent, but doesn't look like a shop light.

In other news, the subfloor is in the bathroom, and the vinyl is being installed tomorrow. Then they can put in the toilet and vanity. I need to order a shower curtain!

Titus is painting! He got the master bedroom all done, and is starting on the hall. Daryl is painting baseboards and doors.

The master bedroom is a silvery blue. The trim color is the same throughout the house, for continuity.

So what am I doing? Besides paying the bills, checking in, coordinating with all the workers, cleaning up the yard, and posting to the blog? Making curtains. These shots aren't super accurate as far as color, but it should give you an idea. The master bedroom curtains are black and silver.

I got some wonderful silk taffeta for the front room. The sale remnant was just enough, with a little creativity. It's hard to tell, but there are brownish slubs in the silk, and it looks very elegant.

I'm going to try to put together curtains for the front bedroom out of these two remnants.

And of course, the real find was the cloth for the kitchen. That's gonna be just wonderful.

I've also got a variety of sheers, including this stuff.
