Kitchen Progress

We got down to the 3rd layer of linoleum. We think there's one more layer of plywood under this, then the original floor. Phew.

We are going to keep the black appliances as they are good quality & relatively new. However, we did hate the dishwasher as it was a light cream colour but Matt & Gina came over this morning and told us the panels can be turned around. We took the front panel off and there were 3 other choices - black, white and 1960's mustard! Thanks guys - you saved us the money for a new dishwasher. We never knew!

You have to use your imagination to visualize how the kitchen will look. The masking tape represents the extended cabinet space on the left, and the island that we want in the foreground. We've been pricing up counter-top materials like quartz, granite, corian, solid, laminate, tile, oh the list is exhausting. We don't want laminate - we want good quality stuff that's cheap but I don't think that exists! Tonight we are going to measure up for both cabinets and counter-tops and get a rough price.

Okay, to the important stuff - this is how we find Jack now in the morning - kneeling up, chewing on his crib! Then he looks up, sees you and gives you the most fantastic grin that makes your heart melt! It's his first day with Michelle tomorrow - how exciting!


Lastly, we watched "Little Miss Sunshine" last night & loved it. The dance routine was the funniest (and most cringy) thing I've seen in ages. This week we get to watch "Borat" finally and I'm going to watch "Dreamgirls" with Gina on a girly night out!
