We Have Countertops!

The countertops were delivered right on time today- 9am sharp! It took about 3 hours from start to finish. These things are so beautiful- thanks to my architect husband and his design. I'm not sure if the photo does them justice, but they are 8 feet long by 5 feet wide!! If you knew my kitchen prior to this renovation you can only imagine how excited I am to have these new counters!

There she is! This is an amazing piece of art!
Check out the new faucet! Ah! So pretty!!
We're being told the plumber and the electricians are coming on Tuesday- after that most of the work should be done. I'm not holding my breath.

Happy Halloween! Almost.




The boys are so excited for Halloween this year. They have been asking me EVERY SINGLE DAY to decortate! We've been able to do a little given the house is such a huge mess at this point.


How much longer?

It really feels like we're almost there. The big hold up now is the counter install. Counters should be ready by next week some time and then the rest will move right along! So they say.




The cabinets are not blue. That is the protective layer that will be removed once the contractors are out of the house.
