The Kitchen - Part One

The appliances and cabinets are installed...now for the finishes.

Getting the tiles ready for the kitchen backsplash. Each tile had to be embellished with paper or painted in reverse for the freestyle mosaic look I wanted.

When enough tiles were completed I started the layout to ensure that appearance of randomness.

A New Day

The sunrises have been glorious... this was taken a couple of weeks ago but it's not uncommon to wake up to this scene. One of the many benefits of country life.

As the year draws to a close... I'm thinking how lucky I am... I have my wonderful family and we are enjoying our new house.

I will start sharing pictures soon.

It has been jammed packed two years.... As I previously mentioned we had two construction projects going at the same time.

Our little house has been completely remodeled and we moved in last November. I had some apprehension on how we were going to fit four people in an 800 square foot house but I have to say that that it's been working out. We haven't killed each other yet. My daughter actually has had friends over and her tiny bedroom doesn't seem to matter. In fact it's a joy to hear all the giggling coming from that room. Oh to be eleven again.

I'm still working on our main house, sometime along the way we let go of out general contractor and I took over. I would rather not discuss reasons.

Anyway, we moved into our house this past summer....we have been working the pool, outdoor space and interior finishes.
