Kitchen Cabinets Installed, Tequila Line Paint, and Much Much More Tile

There’s certainly plenty of things to write about tonight. Pretty amazing that I’m finding it difficult to keep up with the blog because I’m at the house so often, but I feel like a chimpanzee with his first taste of cotton candy. I just can’t get enough and want to be up there all day long while the guys are busy at work, and then scurry around at home to keep up with the rest of my life. Being there is just so addicting, most times I can’t force myself to leave and when the sun is out, well… I’ve got to get my D vitamins and suntan!

So what has happened?

The Kitchen Floor Is All Tiled and Looking Beautiful

My Room Is Standing out with Its Rather Loud/Brilliant Tequila Lime Green

my mother says it’s hideous 🙂

The Very Cool Satin Nickel Eyeballs Are Installed

My Mother’s Sunroom Is Tiled, Almost All Trimmed and Looking Mighty Sunny

Look how straight the lines are!

I Even Snuck in a few in Ceiling Speaker without Mom Knowing… Ha ha!

My Room Is All Prepped with Ditra and Ready for Tile

And… Drumroll… The Kitchen Cabinets!!!

The Kitchen Cabinets Are Almost All Installed

Yesterday morning I arrived to the house to see the Michaud boys unloading heavy box after heavy box from the SW Collins truck. It was so exciting I honestly couldn’t contain myself, like I was beyond emotion, so happy I had to call mom and tell her that they were installing the cabinets and that they were the wrong color. Yup… She believed it! My mom will believe anything 🙂 But the cabinets were absolutely the right color and far more beautiful than I could have ever possibly imagined.

When we were going through the whole arduous process of choosing our kitchen cabinets we decided to go with a more middle priced company (Starmark) and look at one of their simpler door styles in their finest material (Cherry). I think the results speak for themselves. We get an absolutely beautiful kitchen at a very reasonable price. We love the sleek, simple lines and love the richness of the cherry in the Papirika stain.

I Mean Look at Them… They Really Are Quite Extraordinary!

And let’s not forget the carpenters and that made it look so beautiful.

Now I can’t wait to be up there tomorrow! They’re laying the tile to my room… SO EXCITED!

Will do that on Monday.I do have a single CAT5e Keystone up there that I'll hopefully trial fit today.As for the automation it's all curled up in its cabinets and waiting a few more days for the dust to settle and then it'll be go time!What's you next week/weekend looking like.
