temporary counters on the island!

Well well - high excitement on a Tuesday. To back up a bit, flooring looks like this: (Jeremy does great work, doesn't he?)

Todd has finished the drywall replacement on the walls (still the ceiling to go, and the mudding and sanding - but still!) We are coming quickly to the point of needing to make a decision on lighting, as this is holding up the ceiling drywall . . . and to decide on lighting we need to think about the bar area . . .

So we decided to bring in the butcher block pieces that will make up the counter bits of the island, so as to better mock up the bar (and see where the pendant lights will need to be, so we can place the rail for those lights - it all is linked, I promise!) When we placed the first one I couldn't stop smiling. Jeremy was grinning pretty hard too!

Note the box of garbage bags on the counter (topped with a plank) to simulate the bar height; the tool box on top of the barstool is to simulate THAT height. Like our precision?

We'll remove the counters and the cabinets tonight, so Todd can access the ceiling. Who knows what will happen tomorrow!
