Re: TFSMIF (4.00 / 7)

Pretty. I like the way the light is hitting those leaves.

Rainy, rainy, rainy here today. How about you?

Re: TFSMIF (4.00 / 7)

We had loads of rain yesterday. Right now it's just overcast but there's a chance of rain.

We finally got our new kitchen counters yesterday (still waiting for the new faucet for the new sink). It's pretty nice not to look over there and see the old stained, chewed up butcher block top.

Re: TFSMIF (4.00 / 7)

I hope our rain stops today. It's been puring since last night.

Will we get to see some photos of the new countertops after the faucet arrives?

That reminds me, I still need to post before and afters of my bathroom.

Re: TFSMIF (4.00 / 7)

I've probably got one of the more unexciting kitchen but sure -- even though I'm sure your bathroom will way kewler than my kitchen. :)

Kitchen counter (4.00 / 7)

I don't have a before but here's some of the old butcher block counter.

Here's the new counter, sink, and faucet. Exciting, innit.

Re: Kitchen counter (4.00 / 6)

Holy cow! I think the beige was a little daring with the brown. But you are all about ostentation. :)

Re: Kitchen counter (4.00 / 5)

Hey, there are exacting standards involved in being the second most boring couple in the world.

P.S. Jim says that 1) it's more sand than beige and 2) there black, brown, and gray flecks in it and 3):P

Re: Kitchen counter (4.00 / 5)

I'm glad to see that you have, at least, cabinet doors. We constructed our own cabinets at our last house and the doors somehow got left until the very last, after we had moved in for several years. Mrs. Dem calls the style "Brown County Finished".

Re: Kitchen counter (4.00 / 5)

Well as you can see, we've never got around to things like curtains or, as you can't see, baseboard trim -- our own version of "Brown County Finished". :)
