Fall Photos

Yesterday I forced the kids to let me take some fall pics of them.  After much complaining and a near software disaster, we actually got a few good shots!

COUNTERTOPS... YIPEE!!

Goodbye 3/4 inch plywood, hello real countertops!  I have been living with plywood countertops and no dishwasher for a month now... BRUTAL!!  After a fiasco with Sutherlands we finally have countertops!  I had to get them in ASAP so had to take what was in stock, but I have to say that I probably couldn't have picked better ones, they look great! I absolutely LOVE. LOVE, LOVE my sink!  Bj picked it out from the same company we bought our claw foot tub from.  I almost cheaped out and re-used my stainless steel sink but I am so glad that I didn't because the drainboard sink looks awesome!  BJ also got my dishwasher hooked up and beadboard put on my staircase today.  Now I just have to caulk the cracks and nail holes then I can paint.  Tomorrow will be spent moving a vent from the middle of the dining room floor to the perimeter so we can install laminate flooring.   For those of you who don't recall... here are before and after pics...
