The kitchen as it is

Old Kitchen Cabinets

In the cellar are two cabinet pieces. One is a two door piece, the other a 3-door piece. I think they are the original kitchen cabinets. They are painted the ghastly yellow that some of the cellar walls are painted. There appears to be a coat of tan under that. There is no back on the cabinets.
The cabinet doors are inset which I really like. The drawers overlap a little bit.

The top cabinets are sitting on top of the lower cabinets.

And I am wondering if these can be part of our new kitchen.

Almost finished bathroom

It has been awhile since I written here and I so I thought I'd start where I left off. The bathroom has been almost done -- what it is now, since the middle of the summer. When I left in June to go out east before my mother died, the subway tile was on the wall and the floor tile was on the floor but I did not get a chance to do the grouting. David did most of the grouting and then I finished up with the shower shelves and the trim work. The picture above is closet wall. I would like to eventually seal this closet and open it in the master bedroom so was have adequate closet space there. In its place, I'd like to put a square cabinet in the corner for towels, some linens, and all other bathroom stuff.

I still have not found the right light to put above the sink. This is left over and painted from the old bathroom. I am hoping that when I look for kitchen stuff, I will find a vanity light. We put new hinges on the doors and medicine cabinet, but beside that, I did nothing but paint the medicine cabinet.

The sink is new and you can see the floor in this shot. I love it! And one of the architects that came through the house recently to talk about the first floor, commented how nice it was to have the original bathroom floor in such good condition. Made my heart proud!

Good shot of the new bathtub which is not as big as the old one, and not very good for a great soak. The subway tile went in very easily. My one regret is the grey grouting. If I had it to do over again, I would have used a lighter shade.
