first post in 2008!

I have been remiss in posting, but it isn't because nothing has happened. The last week has been a busy one!

The kitchen at the end of 2007 looked like this:

Jeremy spent the last Saturday in December installing the wall oven and the microwave, and Todd worked on drywall mudding and under the house joist stuff. Come January 1, the focus shifted slightly to the new space (no, we aren't adding anything to the house - just playing with walls! So perhaps it isn't a new space . . . but it feels like one!) Jeremy spent the day at Lowes buying parts for the shower, while Todd began framing what will become our full bath downstairs and a long-anticipated and needed mudroom!

And now, after working on framing and setting cabinets, we need to make a decision on what the bar part will look like. We have decided on the wood . . . but here is out latest idea, and unless we get brainstorms that involve cardboard mockups in the middle of the night, this will serve as the template! Note, please, that this is taken from the SAME spot by the front door as the initial picture of wall and clock . . . what a difference! PS. If you click on a picture, a bigger one comes up so you can see stuff better.

This week? Granite on Thursday and gas hookup on Friday. Perhaps I will post pictures of a gang of us working in the kitchen next week!
