Kitchen Update - Part 4 ugh

Granite was finally installed - which was the 1st thing we decided to do - ha!  So many things had to be done before installing the granite, but it's OK.  We're still deciding on the backsplash design, but here's what we've done so far---

Cottage Renewal - Day 14!



The transformation is unbelievable and so far I love the colors.  It does seem to be going awfully slow though.  We left town last Friday morning (day 11) and they were still doing painting touch-up and installing the cabinet doors.  I was really looking forward to returning on Sunday and seeing the finished product.  BUT some of the doors were not installed correctly, a couple were missing, and some wouldn't close all the way.  Hopefully this morning all of that was taken care of - we'll see!  Now for the rest of the week, we'll be cleaning everything in the kitchen cabinets due to a layer of sheetrock dust.  I'm posting a picture from this morning, but keep in mind we're still waiting on our new granite countertops and backsplash - the new colors look kind of strange with our blue counters!


The dining room is finished - still need to finish accessorizing.  Don't worry - I'm not going to over-do.  I may wait til my "decorator" is available. Kelly - when are you available?? ha!  The walls look very gold in this picture, but they're actually darker. 




Last week-end was our Marianna visit to help Wayne pack for South Dakota pheasant hunting.  Chloe and I took early morning walks both days.  I thought the scenery was photo-worthy with the sun hitting the trees, horses, and pastures just right.  We actually came face to face with a couple of very pretty deer that stared at us for a couple of minutes.  I wasn't sure what Chloe was going to do - at least she didn't try to chase them (or run the other way).  She's getting smarter in her old age - definitely more nervous.  Wayne is driving to Huntsville today in order to catch his plane to S.D. on Thursday.  Prayers are with him!
