gettng there....

the kitchen is coming along….last week they installed the cabinets…they bring the boxes in, then add the moldings, and bits and pieces…everyday they look different….i think i've picked most of the things that i need to…who knew that picking an edge for the granite was hard?  but, as i was looking at them, i realized that the fancy ones sort of made me sick to my stomach!  weird!  so, i picked simple…i realize that i don't like fancy…just simple and classic…after a few different tries, we found the right finish and distressing for the cabinets…that is what will make or break them…the floor was picked after a few starts…robert had brought a few catalogs to look for what i wanted…i thought i would just get mexican pavers again as i loved that floor…but, he talked me into 'european' pavers…not quite as red as the others…it goes better with the look i'm going for…mediterranean…we found the perfect floor…only to find out the next day that they don't make it anymore…so, robert went on the hunt to find a replacement…i think we found it…i'm excited for what it will look like….this week, the plasters have been here finishing up…they have been doing the living room and hallway…it's funny how projects snowball….we had moved a couple of walls…so we had to redo them…i had oak on the walls and down the hall…that's a pretty old look, so we redid everything…got rid of all the oak…it's looks amazing and so different….while i'm gone, they will be staining and painting the cabinets…then the tile and granite etc…it's almost there!  i can't wait….i have to say that mike and his guys do such a great job….they come on time…never miss a day…it's amazing…plus, they do beautiful work…yesterday i was looking for cabinet knobs also….of course the one i like are the same knobs that are in my game room…for some reason, i continually pick the same thing…at least i know what i like…i really know what i don't like!!  so, that's the update on my beautiful kitchen to be!!! can't wait…then, i'll have to cook again!!! gulp!
