Day 92, and the rest of the kitchen flooring is down, as well as the middle room. The only flooring touch ups left are the thresholds.
After talking with the contractor, I've decided to forego the crown molding on the cabinets. Since the cabinet sections are small and broken up, the molding would look foolish. Instead I'll leave them as is and I'm sure I'll find some dust collecting items to display on top of the cabinets.
I've ordered two natural wood looking floating shelves to put between the cabinets above the sink. I still haven't settled on a hood vent, and that space on the right-hand wall looks awfully bare right now.
Day 93 was the flooring in the media room, and I am so in love with this color that I almost wish I'd done the main house in it instead of the grey.
Without windows the media room will be darker than the rest of the house, so I wanted a flooring that would warm it up and brighten it. Plus, all my existing furniture is dark wood or in the brown/beige family, so I needed a room where it wouldn't look out of place. It will work great with this flooring choice...that is, if my furniture is even usable at this point. Nearly three years in a storage unit that isn't exactly sealed means I'm probably going to have to throw out quite a few things. The last time I was over there, I noticed some mouse droppings on some of the boxes. I'm sure they've been having a field day inside my couch and mattresses. We'll see how bad it is soon enough; I'm hoping next month will be the big clean out, and I'll finally have all of my stuff back.
