Catch-up

My contractor has told us we will be able to move in by the end of the month. Even if the house isn't done we'll be moving in anyway because I've given notice to my landlord. I haven't taken any pictures of the house in the last few weeks, but here is some progress on the outside (note: the pictures can't be seen fully unless you have this on full-screen):

And here, covered with dust and dropcloths, are the kitchen cabinets (the gray paint around the doors is primer):

Breakfast nook:

Butler's pantry (if you look carefully you can see the edge of the granite):

The bookshelves in the living room, along with a peek at the ceiling. The ceiling was my architect's idea and I'm not really wild about it. It will be stained darker, so I hope that reduces the 'rustic cabin' look. When he described it to me I thought it was going to be much more subtle.

I hope to get over there this week and take a few more pictures.

I love it, Mom!

However, I'm having trouble visualizing how it's going to look when you walk in, since the last time I actually was inside it it was just framing. I guess I'll have to wait just a couple weeks for Thanksgiving!
