House updates

New cabinets view, ohne dead soldiers.

Beer cans aren't used for staging, right?

Answers to commonly asked questions:

1. The upper cabinets are being left open, but will have glass-fronted doors.  We've got a lot of cabinet and need some air!
2. The peninsula is staying at that angle, needs to be finished with a raised bar on the backside.  What you see of it right now will house the kitchen sink, the better to do dishes by, my dear.  There's a dishwasher in the works, something I've never had my entire life, so I'm interested to see how our clean dishes supply holds out.
3. That is a side-by-side fridge and freezer combo.  We were surprised by how big they turned out to be, but we are slightly in love.  Especially when we don't have to dig through the chest freezer, bent at the waist, legs waving in the air.  Even more when we don't have to do that in the garage at minus -30 degrees Celcius.
4. Celcius hasn't always been the modus operindi in Canada.  Fahrenheit, inches and miles used to be the way it was.  Funny, I thought we were always off-kilter, not just given that little nudge of encouragement from Pierre Trudeau.  Something to add to my Pierre Trudeau basket of knowledge.  I will tuck that in next to the rose he wore in his lapel.
5. Countertops are next on the list.  Backsplash will need to be done, but that may be moving to the backburner.  Time to play with all of the materials and supplies we have stored in our garage.  Tick away at jobs we can do without maxing out a line of credit and, in the meantime, clear up some parking space for winter.

picture coming...once I get home. 

Insert Arabian (K)night here.

The light fixture is a wired-for-electrical Moroccan lantern.  Kijiji was my friend this time round and not just a time waster.  Watch your head.  That thing has a nasty point to it that is just perfect for a 5'6 and 3/4" girl.

This is the "reading nook".  Window seat, book shelves, arm chair and side table are floating around in the idea bank.  Turning on this light helps the dreaming process, if not the actual lighting situation.
