the walls are painted a lovely shade of golden ecru, the gorgeous granite countertops are installed, and last night the travertine backsplash was set in place.
the feelings, the emotions of watching this come together are a little overwhelming. bobby and i stood in the kitchen last night with the contractor...just in awe.
to look back @ how we purchased this home...that in itself was a MIRACLE! there was just something about THIS HOUSE that felt 'RIGHT' to us...even though i reeeeeally had some things about it that i didn't care much for...and then to experience HURRICANE IKE in all his wrath...but come out the other side with such an ENORMOUS blessing. it's still not completely settled, you know?
today they are going to finish the island (the brown portion is just primer right now). i 'think' the appliances may be put in today as well? monday the floors go in, tuesday the carpet will be installed in the study & wednesday we should be here to celebrate christmas eve.
here are some updated photos:
we couldn't ask for a more amazing christmas gift!
now, sing with me, "i'll be home for christmas..."

That is indeed one fabulous Christmas gift.
I'm so happy that you will be home soon & that such a disaster has turned into something so wonderful.
so does this mean you are going to be wanting cookbooks for christmas, my friend?
looks fab, really. love it!!
LOL. in fact, i HAVE asked for kitchen stuff for christmas. can't start with the cookbooks though...they won't be any good if i don't have the proper tools! my brother-in-law compared cooking in my old kitchen to cooking in a third world country. definitely time for some grown up kitchen stuff!
It is just beautiful!!!I have been waiting for pictures and I can't wait to see the finished product. This does mean that you have to cook!!

You deserve this new kitchen and MORE. Enjoy baking me cookies while you reflect on the glory of it all. :)
