Today was fun.....it is taking shape. What is not fun, is sitting in 2 hours of traffic trying to get through Boston this afternoon after picking up my cooktop since the counter is being installed Friday.....But it is fun to see the progress, I have to say that all the sub-contractors are really great guys. The cabinet maker- ridiculously talented and ridiculously nice. He loves what he does, he tells you that he loves it and it shows. My drawers are soft close, and I found out today that my cabinet doors are also soft close- didn't know that existed. The kitchen and bathroom cabinets are even prettier than I had hoped for....The finish carpenter, Mark- bending over backwards to create the fireplace mantle that I am dreaming up in my head (did I mention that he did all the finish carpentry in Tom Clancy's Vineyard house?) The painters- happy to paint my lime green stripes in the powder room (stay tuned .) Mario- the tile man- actually tiling the foyer while 5 men are coming in and out with molding, cabinets and toilets.)
Well, we are still laughing and we are pretty much on target for the end of the month.....here are some pics.....

can you guess which stain color I picked for the floors? Minwax- from left to right.. Early American, Driftwood, Special Walnut and Provincial.......
I dropped my favorite light off at the house today.... I am in love with this Driftwood Orb by Currey & Co- fab huh?
