Andrew (Our Beloved Contractor, OBC for short) arrived early with a bunch of stuff for M&L. Buckets, mortar, tools, extra construction-y stuff. He was quite surprised (and happy, I hope) to see that we'd already found a bathroom vanity for the downstairs bath, and we had a little chat about putting in a temporary kitchen in the laundry room for the duration of the kitchen remodel. He'll be looking for a basic kitchen-type lower cabinet (pre-made) to house a laundry sink (which will double as a kitchen sink for the next 5 weeks) and a set of drawers and a bit of counter-top, and if it's got Shaker/Mission style doors, it's a bonus, but I said "Hey, it's a LAUNDRY ROOM" so he's not gonna look that hard. And then we went our separate ways, after I set up coffee for the guys.
When I returned 2 hours later, it was to the scene of much industrious working.
To quote Monty Python: Huuuuuuuge... tracts of tile!
It's browner than I thought. And it's going to make a difference in how I view the paint, too.
This is SO MUCH FUN! And it's not even LUNCH TIME!!!!!
That tile is gorgeous. I'm in lust.
ReplyDeleteI love the tile! One of these days, we will be redoing our kitchen and I am putting some of your ideas/designs into my brain for future use!
ReplyDeleteI'm still thinking the far right paint color... I think you need to do a whole series of the different rooms at different times of day before we make a final decision... Or.. not...
ReplyDeleteI want some of those huge tracts of land. No matter how uncomfortable it is, I would gladly sprawl out across that beautiful tile all day long. I bet it'll be awesome during the summer--nice, cool floor..
ReplyDeleteGorgeous. Shiny. It's so fun to watch it all come together!
