Wow!

I came home from school to see the wonderful progress that the installers made today! Wow! :)

 

They plan to work tomorrow, Wednesday and Thursday to finish with the cabinetry. The countertop people are also scheduled to come in Thursday to measure and then it will take about two weeks for our countertops to be cut. Cross your fingers for an installation on or about May 23rd!!

 

Our new floors were all carefully covered with collapsed cardboard boxes in an effort to protect them. I appreciated our installers taking that extra step.

 

Randy and I spent the weekend working on the kitchen project. He filled 60 screw holes in the pantry while I painted. I did the area of the kitchen where the cabinets go so that we would not have to cut-in afterward. It literally took us months to finally figure-out the right color for the walls. We considered every imaginable color, both dark and light. Our walls looked like a patchwork quilt as we tested possibilities. Eliminations were made as we observed the colors in both day and night. It's our "Goldilocks" process. First our paint was too dark, then too light. Finally, we got it just right. Although difficult to determine in the pictures, the walls are two shades lighter than the cabinets (same color family).

 

The first picture below shows a more accurate color representation. The other two make the cabinets appear much more yellow that they really are. It must be the light. The glass in the stacked cabinets and corner cabinet is seeded for an old-world feel.

I will post again tomorrow night after another day of their efforts!
