Progress

The laundry room. There remains trim and door painting.

The new countertop is ready and waiting. We hope to get in put in Saturday.

Do any of you remember our old cabinets. These are new new ones specially made to match the metal ones, though they are wood. The cabinet makers seemed very pround of themselves. It's nice, in a weird way, to be in a recession. The contractors around town are more willing to do the job for an affordable price when they need the work. The are beautiful, though the finishes will vary. The new powder-coat finish on the metal ones. Is GREAT! My neice and sons' friends (they have all commented on our dirty kitchen) will be very happy to see that they look clean.

I have dubbed the kitchen, Mama's "Happy Room". Do not fuss or you will be put in there to stare at the happy yellow walls. So pretty! It'll be really nice with the white cabinets and dark countertops. Yes, the yellow on the floor is my work. The gorgous walls and electrical fixtures are Scott's. I like how different the yellow looks in different light. All pretty. Scott, though, keeps singing the Bobcats song when he looks from the kitchen into the blue dining room. TOO much.

Sigh. So clean. Notice the floor! Chad, David, Garrett and Scott did such a nice job! THANK YOU.
