A few tidbits....

Thought I would show a few before and after pictures of small items that have been done while waiting on the bigger items...
First was my kitchen window. Didn't realize how ugly these windows were until I got a new one installed. Told the contractor to take it back out because it made the rest of my old windows look TERRIBLE!
New window--can see out of it so nicely...the middle of the window has no slider to block the view, and the perimeter grid gives some style without being too over the top.Guess I should have taken a picture of this old door leading to the garage BEFORE it was taken out, but imagine a door as heavy as a human that swelled up in the winter to the point was so loud and had to push hard just to open!

This is my new door leading to the garage. First off I now have it opening into the GARAGE instead of my tiny dining room. 2nd it is a much fancier window door than I had requested due to a mistake at the home improvement place. They charged me the same amount for the door, but I didnt pay for the fancy build in blinds....now if they would make this mistake on a door that someone will actually SEE! hehe oh well..

My yucky old ceiling lights. I wasn't ready to spend the $$$ to install can lights so I had the electrician add a 2nd light in the living room (the first one was only on one side of the room) and I replaced the lights with something a little nicer and something that shouldn't get so many BUGS in it. I cleaned this thing out not that long ago! Well..ok been a few months...

New lights in living room....
The day the cabinets arrived (Last Tuesday not so late....about 2 months....here is kitchen before anything installed.....


Here is with the basic cabinets but no doors, drawers, or shelves. But at least it shows taking shape.


Another view of the installed cabinets...
