Moving right along

This week brought more cabinets (everything but the glass doors, island, desk, and window seat is in place), surprisingly complex ceiling molding, and the long-awaited new concrete by the front and back doors. We considered having Ringo contribute a paw-print, similar to Will and Anna's 2002 driveway handprints, but decided against it.

Thankfully, we aren't trapped despite having fresh concrete at both doors. Chad and Jordan built a sort of wooden platform so we can use the front door without leaving shoe prints. There's a smaller wooden plank in back, too, but I think I'll just stick to the front door for the next day or two, until the concrete is set.

We also have an installation date for the granite: June 3. Mark your calendars!

The next big question is the paint colors for the walls in the kitchen and the office/entry. I had hoped to wait until the counters were in place to choose the wall color (colors?), but it is more efficient for the painter to do everything at once. And it would keep things moving along.

What do you think? Can you choose a good wall color based on a small chip of granite?
