TAKIN' OFF

I'm off to CT for the weekend, staying in a cabin, sorta like camping because you have to go above and beyond to find things to fill the empty spaces of time when you're not off gallavanting, when sleeping seems to do the trick MOST of the time, but when there's no t.v. it's just not enough. Yeah, camping. It'll be fun though we have a few interesting things planned. It was a bad weekend to go with all the house stuff going on (painting and such) but I planned this trip when I was closing on May 14th, so I didn't have to worry about this weekend. Then things changed. No biggie.

All the wallpaper is off and the walls have been washed and wet sanded, along with the ceilings. The ceilings and some of the window sills have already been painted because that was *the* only thing chipping. They look so great! Thanks to my father and Godfather or I'd never be where I am as far as the renovations go. It looks like we'll be completing it all just in time to move. *fingers crossed*

Today I went and searched countertops for the third time, this time at a different store. I finally without a doubt found the one I want. It's very attractive, in fact...take a look for yourself here. I'm so excited. My dishwasher is coming tomorrow and the tile flooring will start next week. I'll be taking a few days off from work, as monday was my scheduled back to work date. Countertops will be in in about 2 weeks, the guy came out to measure today. I can't believe it's all coming into place. It gets more and more fun every day!

The only room I haven't picked out a color for yet was the kitchen. I decided against the yellow because the gorgeous cabinets are too close to the "yellow" family- birch. So, I am thinking the only thing I can do to get away from that "family" is to do either blue/gray (not) or a red/rust color. I am leaning toward that...suggestions?
