Remodeling Week #12

Finally the kitchen is done and we've started to move in.
How do you like the new eating space? Nice and bright!!! Dad didn't want to make holes in the brand new walls to hang the pictures, so we use the new 3M Velcro strips. Seems like they work pretty good until they fall down.
The favorite spot has still got to be the porch. Right?
Mom likes the new cooktop. One swish with Windex and a paper towel and TA DA! It's clean! We even like the backsplash more now that we know Brian Miller put it in for us.
How does the glass cupboard look with glasses in it? I tried to get it with the light coming through but it was already getting too dark outside.
Here's the computer center. The cords come through a hole in the counter. The printer is in the cabinet below.
Sure is handy!
These are the pictures above the table. They are X rays of flowers. I'll have to ask someone at Bachman's what kind of flowers they are.  It's been 5 days and they are still up. No nail holes!
Dad says the pictures should be in color. Wonder what kind of flowers these are?
Look at the new pantry. The roll out shelves are great. Look at the organized Tupperware drawer.
Look at this---all mom's baking supplies in one spot!
This is the NEW left handed closet that mom used to hate. The alcohol is still up high out of children's reach. Same spot for the cookbooks.
Look at these new pull out drawers. Notice the new toaster. What do you think of the color?
Thanks to Sharon for all her help in finding new homes for everything. Paul, you should be worried, she's been getting lots of points lately. :)
We obviously have more work to do......like find a spot for Ginger's dish. Ginger has been very patient.    Weekly updates may be few and far between now. There is still a ton to do- clean the laundry room, put up the ceiling in the basement, put Dad's shop back together, and maybe work at getting the car back in the garage. AND,  we still have to have the patio and driveway built. So we aint done yet.

  2. Sharon may be gaining in points but I got the best son award on lockdown. Plus its just as hard to get points from Milwaukee as it is from Hackensack. I like the new toaster but why is it in the drawer?? Does the new dish washer clean dishes as good as they said it would?
