Desk

Good news or bad news first?

Good News: Our desk got outfitted--galvanized steel.  Totally durable, totally kid proof.

House remodel

Here's some different angles to orient you. Dead on looking towards the front of our house.

Walking into our more formal living room (dining room table is just on the other side of that orange chair.

Bad news, the glass that was supposed to go on the back of our island was completed and delivered, but when it got to the cabinet shop they dropped the box cracking all four glass panels. Nooooot Surrrrprrrrised! (I'm singing this in my head if you should know) Back to the drawing board.

They also ordered the upper cabinets too big, so when they were delivered they obviously didn't fit. Swear words. They put up some temporary ones to bring my frustration down to normal levels.  My cabinet guy owned up to everything and I'm still keeping mental tabs on things so when payment comes, we can work out a deal. 6wks to finish five things is a little much.

They also put up our stainless steel shelving on this corner, (by my tomatoes) to put the microwave on, but in two minutes I tore it down.  It looked unstable and not what I was picturing.  I ended up moving my microwave by my freezer (pictured above) and I think this new space needs some simple white staggered shelves or a piece of bright art. Maybe bright art to the left and simple shelves on the tile if it can be done.

I keep the Light Saber close by in case I want to take down anything else. (that's why it is on the counter)

Its been a while since I've been in the blogging world (I'm lamely trying to catch up on our family blog), so I'm a bit behind. With that said, I have now looked at all the pictures of your remodel and I'm completely in love. I mean, I thought your house was cool to start with. It is seriously awesome now! Someday when I can buy a house that I love and fix it up can I fly you to wherever we are to help? I'm going to need your eye to make such awesomeness happen.
