Our Charming Little Home

  We chose white wood Kraftmaid cabinets from Lowe's.  We planned to go to three or four places to compare; but Lowe's had a great designer, Rick, and a huge sale.  We got the cabinets, counter tops, and installation for a lot less than we thought we'd pay.  We have been super happy with their customer service and the people who measured and installed the cabinets!  (Yay for JSB grads!) The kitchen sink cabinet was not made for the apron sink I have, so it was reordered and should arrive soon.   We have purchased the windows and hope to put them in next week.  Pete has all of the electrical and plumbing updated - with a little help!  Our appliances are all in the dining room - which is a huge feat!  Thanks, Dwayne, for helping get that monstrous fridge through the back door! Yesterday, Pete finished touching up the blue ceiling and added all of the switch plates and covers.   Since my pictures are on my phone, computer, and in ...

  We've been working away on the house!  I'll add some pictures and explanations to catch up a little bit! We put beadboard over the plaster ceiling in kitchen and framed it in and painted it a very light blue.   Pete took out the bottom portion of the walls and updated the plumbing and electrical and then added new drywall. After pulling up tons of staples and nails, he sanded the kitchen floors down and put polyurethane on them.  While he was at it, he lightly sanded the dining room floor and put one coat in there.  So we decided we will do that to the entire downstairs.  We think maybe carpet was pulled up soon before the home was listed.  It seems to have protected the floors well! The kitchen was a blank slate at last!  We were just waiting on the cabinets to arrive!
