We are completely aware that it has been a while since our last post… but we’ve been so busy actually doing work! Plus there is also the fact that we want to do the wow factor on a finished room… and we are nearing the end! Ted will likely post about the work itself pretty soon, as he did most of it. So here are some blurry (on purpose) pics of some parts of the kitchen/dining room just as a little teaser to the final product!

The floor went in a couple of weeks ago. Ted did it one Friday evening while was I was out participating in some debauchery with Morag. The template took him days and the floor just a few hours… wow!

Our cabinets are in. Ted installed them last weekend, I’m sure he will post about the process soon! They are so wonderful. I can’t tell you how exciting it is starting to look. Ted was feeling pretty ill this weekend so I finished up the interiors and the cabinet doors on Saturday. Yah, at least it will feel like I did more than paint the room! Then on Sunday I marked the cabinets and Ted put on the handles.

I spent most of Sunday afternoon, very quickly unpacking ALL the kitchen boxes. Dan and D are moving in two weeks (can’t wait till you’re in the burbs… evil cackle) and we wanted to give them as many good boxes as we could. Plus it made me feel that we weren’t wasting all those boxes. Man, do we have a lot of stuff. There are some things that we don’t need anymore but not much. I was thinking that maybe we could get rid of some things, but we actually use most of it on a pretty regular basis. I unpacked into the dining room as well and it is really starting to come together.

What is the most exciting is how much space we have! I’ve always had to squeeze everything together to make it fit, but now things are organized and neat. I can easily see everything and get to things without having stuff fall on my head or pulling out half the cabinet to do it! YAH!

Now we are waiting on tiles to get the counter top in. I can’t wait. It is looking so good I’ve been standing in the doorway just staring with a big smile on my face… it is just now starting to feel like OUR home…
