We have been painting like mad men... Dad got the little bench done in the laundry/mud room

All of our appliances are in ( but not hooked up yet :( ) Can't wait to use these. I have ordered pedestals to put them on but they haven't arrived yet so picture them about 15 inches higher off the ground.

They made us a mantel. You will have to picture this with granite inset surrounding the firebox. we are using the same granite as the island to bring it all together.

There will also be a granite slab on the hearth for a seat

Do you just love the new fridge? Can't wait to fill that baby up!!

The new kitchen is shaping up wonderfully! Obviously quite a few things to finish yet.

a view of the new hood which obviously need to have the duct covers installed. We had to have them custom made because the manufacturer gave the wrong dimensions on the installation instructions... :( Always a catch, huh? ) It will look great and we will be putting a sheet of stainless steel from the cooktop to the hood on the wall as a backsplash so that it will be easy to keep clean. The rest of the backsplash area will be tiled with white subway tiles... yup more tiling, can't wait to take that on. We did get all the tile on the master shower on Friday and we will grout it tomorrow... More fun than the law allows! It will be worth it, but we are getting quite exhausted and just over the whole thing.

Stay tuned cuz things are happening very fast now... Maybe I will be able to cook dinner in my new house for my birthday!
