Putting Together The Kitchen

The space designated as the kitchen is now becoming one. Here are a couple of views. The cherry wood starts out very light but will get much darker with a red tint over the next 6 - 12 months. Our stove and microwave will fill in the gaps on this side:

The sink will be in front of the window on this side:

Most of the interior trim work is completed as you see in the window and door frame above. The wood stove has arrived. It looks like a piece of art. No pictures of it yet, I'm waiting until it is fully "dressed up" before I share it with you. We feel like the end may be in sight. Lots of details to go but our builder is keeping on top of them all.

Sandy and I took a hike at Twin Lakes on Saturday. The aspen are putting on quite a show. Twin Lakes is on the highway to Independence Pass and Aspen. There are some mountainsides there that rival any aspen display in the state I think. Here is a small sample.

That's it for now. We are starting to get anxious for the final push.

Enjoy fall !

Things are looking up (and down).

Here are a few pictures of what's been happening inside the house. Our living room ceiling still needs lights and a fan but the wood is beautiful.

Here is our bathroom tile.

This is a view of the kitchen. Our hardwood floors are finished. The floor is a bit lighter than shown in the picture. Our interior doors are installed and stained, waiting for their hardware.

And here is the rest of the kitchen. Our cabinets are being installed this week. Sandy and I brought up our stove, dishwasher and microwave this past Sunday. Thankfully Gretchen and Mike came up as well. The stove was a 4-person moving job. After the cabinets are in the installers will measure for the counter tops. Things keep moving forward in spite of hunting season distracting some of the subcontractors.

Thanks for taking a look.
Have a good week, Dana
