Sometimes we fail to appreciate the little conveniences that we have until we have to do without, then when faced with that situation your only choice is to rejoice or pout.
You might ask yourself what has this to do with house restoration? I lived in Japan for two years and I did not know how much I would appreciate flushing toilets until I lived without one. The same is true about living without a kitchen. We have been living without a functioning kitchen for nine months, which means washing dishes in the bathroom sink/tub and cooking in a makeshift kitchen in the drawing room.
We are getting closer to having a normal kitchen, but it has taken some time. Chris wanted a certain look but we could not find the counters that she wanted so we have resorted to making them. It has been fun, and it's great to see it coming together. (Yes, we have finishing touches to do, but it's getting closer to being completed. As for the angles, they are not simple 45 and 90 degree angles. Ahhh, more suspense, what will it look like when finished with its countertop?)
But...progress is greatly appreciated and we have placed some of our furniture in the library.

cuuute. I love the doors. LOVE the doors. You don't see cool doors like that anymore.
I can't wait to see it all come together!! How's the leather room looking? I probably missed that post while my family and I were all sick the last week and a half..
