Cabinets Day

We got the cabinets installed today; here's some pics.  They're not really redish/pink; for some reason the pics look it, but they're actually rustic natural maple.
Tomorrow they come to measure for the granite countertops, and then about one week before they're installed.

 We love them.
 Just think how cool it'll look with the accent lights above and below the cabinets and the pendant lights over the counter and the light rail over the sink.  Cierra and Caden played hide and seek all afternoon in the kitchen.

Kitchen Update

Well, the flooring is in.  Baseboards, about 1/2 done.  We think Michelle picked out a great flooring, even though she's never actually seen the wood; she chose it online.  Cabinets arrive on Thursday.

By the way, in case you don't know, Chuck has been called as Second Counselor in his Ward Bishopric.  For the second time (well, first time in Oklahoma).  So, we hope it gets it right this time.

Do You Think I Coud Win?

Michelle sent me a link to Trex Deck Products where they are advertising a contest to see who might win a new deck makeover, and they asked contestants to send in a picture of their current deck and a reason they feel they should win.

Here's the picture I sent...whadyathink?????  Am I a winner?

A Work In Progress

Well, I finally got the missing part for my camera so I could post this "Work In Progress".  I thought it would be fun to see the "before", "in-the-middle", and "after" photos.
This has actually been kind of fun even though very inconvenient.  For those of you who have lived through a kitchen remodel you might remember how it is:

• No dining room table to work at, read at, and, oh yeah, eat at.
• No kitchen sink
• No automatic dish washer
• No counter tops for food preparation and a million other activities
• Dust, your constant companion.  Although we have hung sheets of visqueen at both kitchen openings which has helped.
• No stove.
• The guest bathroom is now the kitchen sink and dishwasher
• The microwave and food pantry is in our bedroom
• The dishwasher and stove are in the garage where my car used to park
• The dining room table is in the middle of the living room
• And perhaps, best of all, the refrigerator is in the living room next to the grand piano
