Cabinets have a new home!

The kitchen floor is done so... today we were able to move the cabinets which have been "living" in our garage/shed since the end of August into the new Manor. Today was a sloppy rainy day so this process ended up being quite a procedure as our island truck got thoroughly stuck in the mud in front of the new Manor. It took 4 guys a couple of hours to free the truck from the mud, but they got it done. All the cabinets are in the house ready to be hung. I ordered them so long ago, I didn't quite remember what they each were and I had not ever seen the finish on them. We are quite pleased with the look of what we can see so far.

This is the cabinet that will hold the cooktop.




These cabinets are waiting to be placed in their new "home." I may be able to break out some of my cooking supplies that have been packed away for over 2 years now. It will be like Christmas!


More of the tile was also laid in the downstairs hallway. This is the same tile as the foyer/entrance with a different pattern.




On a semi-fruitless trip to the tile store last weekend, we stopped in a lighting store that lost its lease. It was pretty wiped out, but we saw these globes that could work on our pendant lights over the island in the kitchen. They were marked 1.94, so we thought it was worth a gamble. When they were rung up, the total for both of them was 1.06 including tax! They actually are a good fit with the dining area chandelier we just ordered... and the price was more than right!
