Wow, dream kitchen there! It looks like it belongs in Better Homes and Gardens. I love Eric's repair of the gutter.

Thanks all for the kind comments. I was amused by the lack of comments for the pantry door. Y'all will change your tune when it all gets put together. I hope, anyway! Yikes. Johnny said he was concerned about my color choices and considered recommending I consult a designer.

No way! This is my house and I will mess it up anyway I want! If I hired a designer it would look like every other house he/she has done. Then, after installing the bathroom tile Johnny changed his mind and said I did a really good job with the colors. He finds them quite pleasing as do we.

The tiles started buckling on the fireplace surround again today. Johhny cut out a row of mosaics to all the word to expand. Once it settles down and the adhesive cures he will cut tiles to fit the gap.

I decided to take a day for myself. I cleaned up and put on makeup and went to town. I wandered all over the historical part of town and the antique shops. I got some advice on chalk painting my dining room chairs. I bought two colors and I am going to try to create my own shade of grey. The orangey color just does not work with our floors. I found a couple of really old spice tins to use in the old hutch. I also found an adorable set of ceramic measuring cups that stack. They are in shades of grey. I plan the make a small area of the kitchen into a baking center and they will look great on the counter.

My day to myself ended abruptly when I stopped by the house. Johhny was tiling my bathroom and he read out of the accent tiles! I had to speed down the hill to buy more before the store closed and Johnny left. He wanted to finish the installation of the tiles in both bathrooms so he can grout them on Monday. So much for my day!

Wee tries to sleep on the house tonight but the fumes from the new carpet was just to much. Wee are back in the motor home until Friday or Saturday.

No work on the house tomorrow so Michael and I have a day off from noise, people, and decisions. Around noon we are going to look at a new old table for our dining room. The farm table we have now is a bit too long for the space. The arm chairs don't tuck under so it sticks way out and we have to walk around it to get into the living room. The table we are going to look at has a removable leaf so it can stay square with four chairs unless we have guests and need more.

Thanks for hanging in with me on this wild ride. It should come to an end soon. Please....

Enough about you and Michael, what about poor Tucker, how has he been feeling? I think he needs a dog's day out.

It's all coming together Mary, even the pantry door.

I will wait until I see it in person to comment. Eric did a fantastic job on the cabinets, can't wait to see it all together when the flooring is uncovered. I'm glad the bathrooms are progressing for you. Hopefully the fireplace surround will cooperate and stay on the wall!

How about a nest for you?

Well, I don't know where I would put that! I am working hard trying to fit a nightstand I'm my bedroom! I don't really know what to say about that nest.

Mary, did you get that incredible thunderstorm last night? There was a lot of lightening, and thankfully rain with it (so no fires would start). I sat on my front porch (covered) watching it roll through.
