This week was the beginning of the big push to finish the main floor of the house. The cabinets were finished and the hardware was up on, the floating shelves were installed in the media room bar, and the electricians started to do the finishing touches on the main floor.
I love the company we used for our cabinets, they have done an amazing job with our ordering and install. I am loving the hardware I picked. I love how the crystal pulls add sparkle but the pulls add a masculine feel to balance it out.
The floating shelves in the media room were installed and I love how they turned out. I was a little concerned that I would miss cabinets in there, but I think it will be fine in that bar area. It was worth giving cabinets up to have the mini split back in the bar.
The electricians focused mainly on the kitchen to get ready for the appliances to be delivered next week. They changed out the kitchen table light, finished off the can lights in the family room, mudroom, and kitchen. They also installed the foyer light which I LOVE! I am so happy that I changed it out.
Before and after for the kitchen table light:
There's a new hole in the side of the house to put the vent in for the new hood. I trust Virginia Traditions so much and I really trust Jim that when he said, I've never done this before, I wasn't even a little nervous. I think Jim can do just about anything and do it well!
With the advice of an amazing friend and Billy, we decided to do a chalkboard wall in the kitchen. We had one in our kitchen before and loved it and had a blank wall that was perfect for it. I spent one Wednesday night painting it! I had a bit of trouble since i was painting on brand new paint and it had a chemical reaction, but my amazing friend Janell came to help me paint. There are not many people who will come over and paint in their white pants at 9 pm at night!
We picked our backsplash tile. The one on the left is the winner. I asked Billy his opinion, "Whichever one is cheaper" Thanks so much for your honest input....
The next two weeks are going to be very busy. Painting, plumbing, appliances, cabinets and trim being finished, and the media room is going to be started. We are on schedule and I am so excited to being coming to a close on this project. It has been really fun to see it coming together, but all good things must come to an end...right?
