CABINETS!

Just when things got slow, then they got really fast. The cabinets came in on a Friday, and they started putting them in on Monday. Here's what they looked like this last week (AWESOME!!):This is the desk and the broom closets.


This is the view out the back window (doesn't the island/table look great?).


The east wall -- I am so glad we did the little windows. The tin tiles will go behind the stove. Can't wait to see what they will look like.


The pantry -- Maurice and I worked out the shelving in the pantry, and I was worried because, really, what do I know about pantries and how they should be? But it looks great, perfect, in fact, and I am so happy about the design inside. Plus, it has a light that goes on when you open the door. How cool is that? You can see the bookshelf on the wall there on the left -- all of our cookbooks will fit (and more).

Next up, trim on the cabinets, paint on the walls (still have to pick a color everything looks very WHITE right now, and it will be so great to get some color in there), countertops (already picked out the slab -- they will be soapstone), recycled wood for the desktop, pulls for the cabinets (already picked them out at Restoration Hardware), tiles, putting up the lights, wood floors - still a lot, but every day it is so exciting to come home to see what the workers have done.
