Here’s what my block looked like after the blizzard hit Madison (yesterday and today).

On yard work
One of the things I was a little concerned about when I bought my house last March, was the fact that I’d have to do yard work.
Since I moved away from my parent’s house many years ago, I’ve been living in apartments and condominiums where all that was done for me. But the idea of sharing walls with other people (especially bad neighbors) was something I was growing pretty tired of. That was actually one of the major reasons I moved last spring.
Kitchen remodel: after
Last week I took some time off to paint my kitchen. Which means… the kitchen remodel is complete! Remember how it looked before?
I thought the orange paint would go well with the cabinets and floor, plus there are some orange specs in the counter top.
Bathtub & tile: done
The last of my major home renovation projects is done! Woo hoo!
I ended up using white subway tile with a stripe of glass mosaic tile as an accent.
Kitchen remodel: almost done
My new kitchen is almost complete! Monday, the counters arrived, and yesterday the plumber was here to hookup the sink and dishwasher. Yes, I actually have running water in the kitchen!
I say almost complete because I’m waiting for the the cabinet pulls (which are pewter). They should look nice with the appliances. And of course I need to paint.
Everything but the kitchen sink (and counter)
The contractor was at my house today to install the woodworking trim and mount the microwave. When I got home from work, I was really impressed with how nice everything looked.
Waiting… hopefully
The cabinets are in, the floor installed, the new lighting is in, the wall has been removed, and the plasterwork is finished. So far it’s looking great.
Now comes the waiting. Wait for the counter top people to measure (hopefully tomorrow). Wait for the appliances to be delivered (hopefully this week). Wait for the counters to be manufactured and installed (hopefully in a few weeks). Wait for the plumber to install the faucet, disposal, and dishwasher (hopefully soon after the counter).
If anyone needs me, I’ll be waiting… hopefully.
Cabinets coming in
My new kitchen is starting to take shape with the cabinets being installed. To the right of the window is where the stove, and microwave (mounted above) will be. The sink will go in the corner, and dishwasher to the left of that.
