Progress!

new kitchen1

I was so happy to see the cabinet installer pull into my driveway at 10am this morning.  He worked until 5:30 this evening and I said he could leave if he promised to be back tomorrow. He laughed and said he would leave his work trailer here so that I know he’ll be back.   Most of the cabinets are in with 3 more to go then all the finishing work still needs to be done.  Looking at this picture I think I might be painting my window trim white but I won’t decide until everything is finished.  Feels good to have things moving along.

While they were working I needed something to keep me busy so I made these 4 tote bags. I used two Hoffman Bali Snap packs, Rum Raisin and Parfait, and quilted them with swirls and dwirling.

    I love the white cabinets.
    The totes are beautiful, it's always good to have something to distract while work is being done on the house.

    Why not an accent color on the window trim??? Maybe black to match the counter tops?
    Love following your blog!

    Purdy, purdy, purdy! Love your kitchen, so bright and shiny! :-) Made me smile to think you had to distract yourself with some sewing while you waited for the contractors. Exactly what I would have done! It's all coming together so beautifully. I'll bet you're excited. Good thinking on the handles and I'll bet your cabinet guy was VERY relieved at your suggestion! Quilters are just so dang smart! :-)
