A short update

It's been a couple of days since I've updated everyone on the status of the kitchen and there's a good reason for that, not much is happening right now. With the mess up of the flooring, everything is been delayed. We did meet with Chris and the tile man (his name escapes me and I don't have a business card for him). We went over the tile choices, how we want it laid out, the pattern we chose over the cooktop and the grout color. The tile man really seemed to know his stuff and gave Chris all the information on how much to order. Today we heard from Chris that'll be about 2 weeks for the tile to get in so the tile and the flooring should arrive just about the same time.

Mark & I spent the weekend staining the banquette. I think I discussed that we were originally going to paint the banquette, but after a lot of thought I just couldn't do that. We found a pretty honey maple that we used and after three coats it's looking great. Here's the before and after. Now it's on to the sealer. I've got a goal of having this all done before the fl0oring goes in. I don't mind a few drops of the sealer on the subflooring, but I'd be really unhappy if I got it on the new floor.

Well that's it for now, I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow and I'll post a few pictures so you can see the new window trim.
