Getting Closer...

The cabinets and pantry are complete except for the glass that will go in the cabinets over the countertops. I must make mention of the drawers - they close by themselves...BY THEMSELVES. You just barely nudge them and BLAM! Closed. Genius stuff. All that's left is some trim, the cabinet glass, countertops and backsplash and, of course, the floors, which are being finished next week.




I am LOVIN' the stove/chimney combo...





And for the dining room, a George Nelson Bubble Lamp! LUV IT.

Getting There

Remarkable progress is being made every day. I think we'll be able to use the stove/oven TONIGHT!! I even joined epicurious.com and am planning my menus for the future... We have been using the fridge and dishwasher already and they ROCK. I mean it, people.

Hey Mom, check out that sink...

Big Time Updates

These aren't in any particular order but we now have LIGHTS and a few more appliances, fixtures and cabinets! It's starting to look like a real kitchen and we are sooooo excited!!! YIPPEE!!

Whoa...

Cabinets and appliances are here! The painting is done. It's all happening so fast!









Look! The little bathroom is all white now:



One last decision - what color of soapstone do we want? Yes, we've decided to go back to our original plan with the soapstone. We saw our neighbors' countertops and they have exactly what we had originally decided on, right down to the subway tile backsplash. We loved it and it looked great so that's what we're gonna do.

Gertie likes the new windows...

They're not quite finished installing yet but I just got excited and had to post some pictures. They make Gertie happy and she's been trying (unsuccessfully) to make a break for it.



Tomorrow, cabinets!

Noteworthy

Painting has commenced! And the stove is inside. Oh yeah!!!





Poo Poo Kitty likes the new stove. And Debo loves Amstel Light... ♥

Floorplan

So you can get an idea of what we're working with here... The painting and cabinet installation is about to ensue - I can't wait!!



To change the subject completely, little Jack Richardson just had his first swim today. He loved it. I bet you can even see some pictures and video on his blog - there's a link at the top. Enjoy!
