Pics of Progress

Wednesday, July 30th, 2008

Wow…busy busy busy ’round these parts. I can’t possibly think of some witty genesis of everything we’ve done in the last several weeks, so here are the pictures -


Coming along…


Now we’re getting there…


Pretty slick, huh? I’ll just reiterate that me and the bunny? We’re very clever.


On the home stretch…


That’s the tile we’ve been looking for!


This? This right here is what win looks like.


More win.


Fellas, the holidays are just around the corner and this is the thing every girl wants. This right here is a Graco Magnum 5 Airless paint sprayer. I get butterflies in my stomach just saying the name.


For those of you who don’t believe I’m capable of subtlety - fuck you. Also, notice the lovely pale mint I’ve selected for the ceiling and trim in this picture.


Oh, that edge? Yeah, we just PWND the shit out of it is all.


BEHOLD!


Note to self - Danish illustrators are smarter than you.

BEHOLD II


Kindly avert your eyes from the mess - please notice only the freaking awesomeness that’s shaping up all over my nascent kitchen.

Other Updates: We’ve decided to go with baltic birch plywood for the cabinet doors. Inshallah, this weekend will see those done. For the countertop, we ordered a sheet of cool looking laminate and we’re going that route for an interim solution, until we feel comfortable with our mad concrete $k177z0rz3z.

I think we’ve come back around to the marmoleum floor. it’s easy and relatively inexpensive.

Now you’re all caught up…

So, I’ve been thinking…

Bunny:  So, honey, I’ve been thinking about our palette.

Me:  Um, why would you think about that.  No good can come of thinking of a decision already made.

Bunny:  Well, I don’t know.  Maybe you were right and the green/blue thing is a bit too cool for a kitchen.

Me: But I love green and blue!

Bunny:  Well, I just think we might have made the color decision a little quickly.

Me:  Ok, how about this then-just tell me what color you would like to paint the kitchen?

Bunny:  Oh, I don’t really know…maybe something warmer.  Maybe something like a nice, pale orange.

That’s when I killed myself.

Hahaha, in all seriousness, after having a small meeting of the minds, we’re staying with our beautiful color choices.  Also, the ceiling tiles are all hung…further postage and pics coming in the next few days.
