this and that

That . . . .

is now this. A beautiful hallway with laundry room and powder room off to the left, stairway and a butler's pantry to the right.

Here is the kitchen in progress. You can see all cabinet boxes and face frames are in the sink is temporarily placed in the island and the cooktop is positioned against the wall in the walnut cabinet.

and that . . .

is now this. An en suite master bathroom!!! Just after taking this picture I hooked up the drains and faucets for the vanity, but that will have to go on the next blog . . .

like a rock . . .

isn't that beautiful!? My own "little" piece of granite. It's being measured and templated today! In a couple of hours!! My bases are in, thanks to my dear mother, and the face frames are on all of my cabinets! They say it takes about two weeks to fabricate the countertops.

Today, I'm on break. It's been three and a half weeks of 16 hour days every day but Sunday, and a LOT of progress has been made. There's still a long way to go, but I'm only doing "lighter" things today. Like painting and planning. Maybe hooking up my master bath vanity. Cleaning, organizing, that type of thing. Maybe even napping! Unheard of!
