Slow Progress....

P and I went to Portland for a few days. He had a work event and I decided to tag along. I think it had been 10 years since I'd been down there.....We had dinner at a nice place in the Pearl District and stopped off for a drink in the bar at the Ace Hotel. Checking it out for our next trip. One of P's childhood friends moved from LA to Portland recently, so we have more reason to go down there. Not to mention...it's got some things going for it. Like furniture and vintage stores.

Back to construction talk.....they dug a hole for our foundation. Now we have giant piles of dirt on the side of the house.....Not sure when the foundation is being poured. Today was a terribly rainy day - thunder, lightning, things we don't often see in Seattle. Seems like no work has been done today, which isn't surprising if they needed to pour concrete.

Meantime, I thought I'd share my kitchen pallette. The cabinets are carmelized bamboo, represented by the bamboo cutting board. Floor is recycled rubber/cork mix. (the black square with speckles on it) Black quartz countertops. The crazy pattern is wallpaper that will be on 2 walls, and the green paint chip will be on the remaining walls. Ceiling and trim will be white. The cabinets and appliances are all ordered!! Super excited, the cabinets are going to be glorious with many cool extras built in. Pull out pantry and spice rack, built in tray dividers, built in trash/recycling. Now to decide on sink/faucet.....
