Mid kitchen

Well the floor is done the appliances are back in and the electrical is all squared away.  Oh and the window and door trim have been reinstalled.  So tomorrow backsplash tiling and then the last details of painting and finding all the odd little moments to trim out somehow.  We have even stashed a couple of cookbooks in the cubby by the fridge.  I didn't take any new photos today.  I'll get some after the backsplash is done.  Mainly I felt like adding some photos of Grace. She is such a character.  These photos string back over the last month. She is so talkative with Tod and I now and using sentences, and lots of adjectives.  It is amazing how fast her verbal skills are taking off.  Nannie here she comes.  She'll be able to do both my Nannie and her Nannie proud soon.

Well here are a few photos of the new room.  It still has a long way to go before it is hgtv ready but considering it is the end of day 3, I guess we won't complain yet.

We were able to get more of the same backsplash tile for the other side of the kitchen.  Tomorrow I think we'll tackle the floor.  I have just two more cabinets to install hardware on.  I ran out of time before bedtime precluding using the drill in the house.  the piece of drywall next to the laundry door will be painted white and have trim put in it to create a message center.  It is hiding big ugly holes in the dry wall.  The trim around the window had to come down.  I think we will need a narrower trim. There is an odd little space next to the refrigerator where the upper and lower cabinets don't match up and we are going to build a small little cubby in that space out of the spare parts from the damaged pieces.

Also photos of Grace, and a very belated birthday video for Nannie.

Grace would rather swing than do anything else a lot of days.  Even when there is snow.  Of course, if we had that great sled of Uncle Richard's it may be a different story.
