Heading northwest on 290

So today, I'm told I need to take yet another trip out to IKEA for filler for in between the cabinets. No worries, the kids are busy so I head out to IKEA, note third time in a week, and go talk to my buddies in the kitchen section, they know me by now. While I was there I showed them my blog and they loved it! (note to Casey, I even mentioned Loop, they were totally impressed).


I pick up my stuff and head back to the old homestead to find more crown molding up.

The window above the sink is in. A window that opens, imagine that!

Below are a few photos of what the layout will look like. The space is amazing, can't wait for the first dinner party!

The transom window also went in, what a nice surprise to find that hidden behind the plaster. I'm glad we could keep it.

My friend Sharon found some really cool lights for me on the Design Within Reach website. http://www.dwr.com/ We are thinking about getting 2 red ones for over the dining room table. Thanks Sharon.
