Kitchen Updates

Say goodbye to ugly laminate and faucet that sprays all over. Thank you Wes! Our brother in law who has been a champ in helping with everything in the house. Here he has on his plumber's hat.

Say hello to pretty Corian counter top and new Kohler sink and faucet. The countertop is a slightly translucent lime ice color that does not reproduce well in photos. We really like it a lot. I noticed after it was installed that the color matches a Knowles Accent bowl from the early fifties that we use almost everyday. Heather is starting to install the doors on the cabinet. The drawers are primed and ready for color. You can see the track lights that I installed to add some good lighting instead of a harsh overhead CFL. We are still trying to figure out the under cabinet lighting. Which bring us to the next phase - electrical upgrades. Our electrician comes Monday to upgrade our service and organize our box. He will also update our switches and outlets and add a few. After that we will install white subway tiles and grey grout on to the back splash. Its taking forever, but it's looking really nice.

Exterior Work Is Done

I know its hard to see, but all major exterior repairs are finished (for now). Let see - roof shingles removed and replaced, new flashing and water/ice membrane, new solar ventilation fan and intakes, new siding on dormers, new gutters, facia, soffit, new chimney from the roof line up, and tuck pointing around the whole house.

1 Room Done 11 To Go

Sitting room/family room is basically done. We went from a brown/tan walls to a cool light blue with white ceiling and trim. With the new windows and colors the room is really bright. I like how our orange console pops off the wall. All we need is art on the walls, which will be the last thing done in the house.
