Staging

Our architect and contractor (well, his wife) both requested some photography at our new house, and what better time to do it than right after cleaning and before we move in?

So, the day before the housewarming open-house party, they both came and staged the house for photos. This included all sorts of funny accoutrements I'd normally never use for decoration -- like roosters or pigs holding chalkboards -- but everything looked great.

Besides, it's time I post a photo of the finished kitchen.

Cabinet Progress

Progress on cabinet installation, despite the holiday.


It's starting to look like a kitchen!


I'm nervous....what if I don't like it? The quasi-shaker style looks odd on the wide short drawers. Ah....I've been through far too much to quibble about things like that

Cabinets unpacked

Kitchen cabinets have been delivered and unpacked!!


This isn't the kitchen's final color; that's just tinted primer. It will be a lot lighter, still greeny-gray, though I'm actually starting to like the primer color!
