Update on the MESS

So the taping, mudding, electrical, and painting is done and the new cupboards have arrived!!! But where you see them now is where they will be until Sunday. The plan was they would be installed today, but I just found out that it wont happen for a few more days!! Hopefully they can all be done in one day, but I'm not holding my breath!! I imagine my kitchen wont be "working" until at least Wednesday. Now with the delay in the cupboards I have to coordinate everything else. The flooring was to go in early nextweek, so... that wont happen. The stove, dishwasher, and microwave was going to be delivered today, so...that wont happen, the window/blind lady was coming on tuesday, so...may or may not happen.....grrrrr.....when one thing gets delayed, it screws everyone up!!

I have had a few emails/comments regarding the colors. The colors have stayed the same as what I painted the walls when I moved in. I absolutley LOVE my colors!! The "RED" on wall is AMAZING in real life, and for the record I'm one of those people who hates the color RED.

And for Miss. Saige....she hates the MESS as much as I do. My house is cluttered, dusty, dirty and I'm ready to SNAP. I think I will move to the lake for the weekend!!

I feel your pain...you have my sympathies.; December 08, 2006 3:39 PM

When you have a sec, e-mail me and give me the update on how your quilt is coming!

Middle-Aged Moi said...: YUCK! I hate the mess too, but just keep reminding yourself, "it'll look so great when it's done". Man, when you get the nesting bug, YOU GET THE NESTING BUG! LOL!; December 09, 2006 9:23 AM
