Time for a look at how it all turned out. Like a child, this kitchen truly seems as if it's always been here. And I take that to mean it fits us and suits our house. Thanks for all your support during the long, long gestation period!

Spotting similar cabinets in a magazine got this whole kitchen started. Thanks for the inspiration!

So handy to have pepper, olive oil, and salt at the ready.

Rain, rain, go away

Come again some other day, like when they are working inside the house!

No progress today--the rain never stopped. But yesterday the guys were here from 7 a.m. until after 5 p.m., building forms for the footings. I'm hoping for good weather so they can be back tomorrow. I'm looking forward to the return of the cement truck!

Until you see all the work that's needed to build a good foundation, you might never give it a thought. It's interesting to see how much work it takes to create something that will last.

I had a nice break from the gray, dreary day when Doyle and I visited the Majestic Lion antique store over lunch to look at lights. We didn't find anything we wanted, but we were able to narrow the field considerably. Next, we're heading back to the architectural salvage store, where Judy and I found some possibilities on Tuesday.

It may feel like things are moving slowly, but we're getting there--drip by drip.
