She's functional!

Hi folks.

We've made some significant progress the past several weeks despite the fact we spent Memorial Day weekend camping at the Metolius River.  This camping trip has been a highlight for 8 or 9 years.  Nothing beats camping with good friends, fire and cold drinks, even if it is raining a bit.


For starters, the backsplash tile has been installed.  We chose a subway tile backsplash with a thin black accent line.  Chris set all of the tile, but I did get to help with grouting.  My first grouting experience!


Before grout:
 




During grout:



 There's my helpy helperson!!!















Chris decided to get creative with the camera and take a picture through the window. And screen?



After grout:





The second tiling project was the floor.  We chose a slate gray tile with a pinwheel design.  The color of the tile looks brighter in the pictures.  In person, it's a much darker gray.  A very nice contrast to the white backsplash tile and white cabinets.

But first, there's always prep work.....






The finished look!


The plastic "door" between the kitchen and living room has been removed!




And a custom beveled threshold to transition from the hardwoods to the tile.




Today was definitely a big day too.

The kitchen is not 100% done, but it's now functional!  All of the appliances have been installed and we can start using the kitchen again!  

No more camp stove and inhaling deadly carbon monoxide fumes!  (they're not that bad, are they?) Yay!
Dishwasher

Stove

Refrigerator...with momma and Chanel, of course.
