It is FINISHED...well...almost..does one every truly finish a remodel?!
I tried to have it finished today but unfortunately we hit a huge snag in the new light fixture department and it looks like we will have to have an electrician come to rewire the kitchen lights for the new fixtures. At the very least I will have to wait until we go to Wichita on the 8th in order to get the light bulbs for the new fixture because no one around here carries the new T5 florescent bulbs. Fortunately, we can get them in Salina and Hastings so it won't be too much of a bother to get replacements when we need them.
But, besides the new light fixtures, IT IS FINISHED! Here is a new look-see at the kitchen. I admit that I did not take a WHOLE kitchen picture because it is rather difficult in such a long narrow space but between the views of the new desk area here and the area snapshots below I think you can get an idea.
Oh...and we did get the hole in the floor fixed where the cabinet used to be under the desk. But I did forget to paint the file cabinet, so sometime I will get the paint back out and do that plus a few touch ups - but that will be after Jonny is done with the wheelchair - he is very hard on my new door:
My New Door! Okay...it's the old door painted new...but it looks new! And we do actually have the face plates back on the switches - they are painted red - I just didn't get a picture of that! |
Trim detail above the desk. |
Trim detail above the kitchen table. We painted the paneling up there - it wasn't painted before. |
My attempt at a more longer kitchen view. |
Long tie back curtains above Dad's Sink Area. ps...you can see the new light too...I've got a close up coming. |
Kinda blurry, but you can see the rod and hold-backs. |
Here is the chocolate Roman Shade and Swag that is now on the window by the kitchen table. |
Again, we will need to wait for the new light fixtures, but I'll post a picture of them when we get that done. Who knows how long it will be before we get a chance to empty the closet leading to the crawl space, Marion checks the crawl space to see if he can do anything or if we will indeed need an electrician, and then how long the wait will be before we can get an electrician here, and then get the lights installed - at least until the 8th! LOL!
