Colorado

Sam and David are having a great time in Colorado this week. Snowboarding at Vail, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge and snowmobiling around Frisco. These were fast snow machines!

Cabinet Sample

Here is my spalted maple and cherry kitchen cabinet sample door. Pretty cool, huh? When Bob Newman showed us the spalted maple in his shop I started looking into ways to use it to create an unusual cabinet design. When I saw the kitchen that Michael Seward created I knew that we had found our look. Only 9 doors are made this way...the rest of the kitchen is curly cherry.

What A Week!

Wow, an exciting week of changes! Cedar shingles on the front dormer, the front door being installed, ceilings in the kitchen and master bath, drywall taped and finished downstairs, framing started on the main log staircase, framing of the Master bedroom closets, interior doors and flooring were delivered, etc, etc etc. Yippee!

New Sconces!

These sconces are for the front door. After the Scottsdale Art Factory fiasco, I changed to another style completely.

Drywall - A BIG Change

The house now has most of the drywall up which really changes everything about the feel of the house. No more looking from one side to the other to see it...now you actually have to walk into other rooms!

Bob Newman started our kitchen cabinets last week. By Wednesday he had about six base cabinet boxes built. This kitchen is really going to be different and exciting to me. We did make a few changes (like ditching the white fireclay farm sink) because I feel like we are getting too many elements happening in the kitchen. We're now going with a stainless farm sink with customization by C & J Metals.
