Renovations Continue...

Major steps forward this week!

The washer and dryer were installed,

in the newly created laundry space

(previously the pantry).

Ignore the wooden door pull.

I'm looking for a cuter one.

Getting the kitchen granite installed

had become a benchmark for progress

in my mind.

This week...it was a great surprise

to arrive and have the installers

working on it.

I have the makings of a really sweet kitchen here!

And, the subway tile back splash 

is getting placed.

Is the end in sight???

I believe it might be!

View from My Window Today

Lovely Spring!

The yard is untidy,

but I had to share this

beautiful blooming crab apple tree

just outside my workroom window.

This picture doesn't do it justice,

but a cherry tree is just outside 

a second window, in full bloom.

It's a bit hard to get

work done when this is the view!

My great little "knitted" bowl --

a gift from my sister a couple

of years ago.

I selected a gorgeous piece of granite 

for my new kitchen this week.

It's very much going to be a simple, cottage kitchen --

white cabinets, black counter top,

black and white checkerboard floor.

Stay tuned!
