We've been a bit busy - picking out stuff - like grout for the tile - oyster (which will match the oyster shells from South Carolina in our recycled glass counter top), the edge for the counters(double pencil) and knobs for the cabinets.
And - remembering the two pair of decorative handles we had picked up during our trip to South Africa several years ago, we decided it would only be fitting to afix these to four of the new cabinet doors.
Also out of the closet are coming two six inch tiles we'd squirreled away after our last sprint-through- annual-sale-day at Motawi Tile Works (www.motawi.com) in Ann Arbor, MI. These two tiles will be centered on two backsplash panels (glass tiles in burnt orange and sea green described in an earlier episode). The overall backsplash tile design is nearly formulated, a random pattern of burnt orange in a background of sea green (random placements to be completed by Ron prior to turnover to the tile guy when that step approaches).
Not to mention the Biscayne Bay sunset view over Miami photo (www.mattstock.com) that will be placed inside a faux window frame wall inset behind the farmers sink.
Did I mention the rest of our green purchases - bamboo flooring for the kitchen and hallways. Oh how we eagerly await the day we're ready to see this flooring laid down.
So, for today small progress, drywall mud works are in progress. Hopefully two more days and the dirty works are completed. Daily dusting and vacuuming should abate by that point.
As week three comes to a close, light begins to appear in the proverbial tunnel.
