End of Week Two



Over the sink



The second week of remodeling is done. I was disappointed that the floor was not down Friday. However, I just happended to check on the status of my light fixtures and found that they had been delivered to my porch. Luckier still, they were still there when I went to get them!



Kitchen pendant light

This is the larger pendant that will go over the eating area. A smaller, matching pendant will hang over the sink. 
I found these online on lightingcatalog.com and would recommend that site. I also ordered my sink from a partner site, eFaucets.com, and the same was true here. Great selection and prices. I did bite the bullet and returned the cream colored sink with a black one and it turned out to not be nearly the hassle I was expecting.


The first day of the remodel was dramatic, as what was once there was no more in a matter of a few short hours. The following ten days haven't been quite as much "fun." When I would come home in the evening, I there wasn't a lot of visual impact (e.g. wiring, new doors, drywall, paint in the few square feet of wall that will actually be visible.) However, the Balanced Beige  paint color looks great, too, considering the way it was chosen!


I'm hoping that next week will bring the installation of the flooring and the cabinets, the templating for the granite. It would seem that tile installation would also begin. With the deadline for completion coming up less than two weeks away, much still needs to be accomplished.
