We're waiting for the kitchen table. . .

The wood table (featured in a previous post) is due to arrive tomorrow morning. The delivery company computer has been talking to our answering machine so we aren't sure of anything right now.
Today we finished touching up the Claire de Lune kitchen, totally wiping out the Alexandria Cardinal red and black and white. Last night we extended the dustboard to meet up with the mirror in the kitchen. We're particularly proud of the pattern match we got in the seams of the the dustboard. (see photo) Too bad Herman (see previous post) isn't here to see what we did with his fabric.

Stan is Kathleen's hero today because she checked and YES, Stan painted behind the refrigerator. Kathleen just can't stand to have an unfinished area behind a mirror or appliance, so either Stan has to quickly cover and lie about it or just take the time to do it all in the first place.

We'll finish bragging about our window wall work tomorrow night after the delivery comes and the sun goes down. Too hard to shoot windows with the Arizona sun streaming through. These pictures will have to serve as your sneak preview.


Incidentally, the grass is turning green on the fairways so when Virgil and Steve get back here on Feb. 17 there should be a whole new look. Up until now, only the greens and tees have been verdant.



A final note: Adhering to the conservative mantra held by younger brothers, we carefully saved the used masking tape and reused the good sides, getting double value from the product.
