I've been carrying around a hunk of granite, shards of tile, 8x10 cabinet samples, a block of black walnut, a hunk of hammered copper and sometimes a huge plank of hardwood!
The pieces are coming together and it is taking my breath away Every. Single. Time. I walk thru the kitchen. I love it all! It is so scary putting these pieces together, spending a lot of money and time, and not being 100% sure that it's going to be perfect, but it IS!
The last two days have been crazy here! For feeling like things were creeping along the 2 previous weeks, it's a whirlwind of activity now! Julian the Bulgarian tile guy is here working (is it weird that his WET tile saw is set up in Daph's new room?!). Our stairs have been ripped off and the new ones have started (2-3 saws set up on the back patio for this crew, and 3-4 guys working just on the stairs). The carpenter - Paul - is diligently working away on whatever he does (he micromanages a lot, and gets stuff done in between - he's a great guy, though!). Two guys had a saw out front for working on the entry. The electrician was here today, too! That is a house full!
So, here's how it looks today:
I LOVE every part of it!!! Yay!

Oh it looks amazing! SO open! Can't wait to see it all!
And happy birthday to the lil' man! Can't believe that 8 years has gone by so quickly!
It looks SO good! I love the walnut island -- it was so worth it.
You're hosting GNO next time I'm in town, right?
Happy 8th birthday to Wyatt. I was thinking of you on the 3rd. It's hard not to "flash back" to when they were little. ;)
