November 6: Moved In
We’re very close now, just a few inside items, and the porchlet. Our list is down to under ten to-dos and you probably won’t be able to see many of them in the photos here. We’ve made breakfasts, lunches and dinners and enjoyed spending the last few evenings nestling in. Marie has all her favorite knick knacks on the shelves now. We’ve trialed and errored ourselves into putting the right pots and pans and silverware and glasses into the right drawers and cabinets. We’ve found the right place for the calendar. Tonight we returned our favorite art to the kitchen (thanks Bonnie). You get the idea. Here, take a look:
I have yet to wash the windows, but otherwise, this scene is complete.
The painter was here today and added another coat to the door, with one more to go. We’re looking forward to taking the masking paper off the door.
Countertops were treated today so they are now in use. Marie is definitely smiling.
I’m thinking there’s only a couple more posts in this job. Maybe a nice sunny day shot after the masking paper is off the door. And a photo of the porchlet. Might even get a picture of Joe Petrina and our architect Stephanie Tottingham next time they come over for a visit. Thanks for riding along on the journey!
Ahhhhh. The finish line. Congratulations!!!
When is dinner? I smell something good, already.
You guys have a stunning addition. Nice job planning and getting it looking so good. It will be so great to live with and certainly add huge value to the home. Your home is such a lovely place.
Hope to get a chance to drop by for a look over Thanksgiving holiday. Marie looks relieved that it is over and satisfied by the outcome.

Boy the Franciscan looks wonderful in the cupboards and I LOVE the stove with actual knobs instead of “boards”. (Next stove!) What a delight it has been watching it take shape–better than TV for sure. Can’t wait for a meal produced in such a beautiful space!

Wow! That was a long journey, but that will all fade over time and you will so enjoy hanging in that fabulous kitchen. Welcome Home.

Can you tell me what is the name of the color of your Marmoleum floor?
Thank you,

What a historically sensetive addition! Would you mind sharing your kitchen and exterior colors? I have been looking for a kitchen green for a while, and it might just work. Thanks and enjoy.
