I'm using the kitchen all the time : )

So we feel very blessed as we have been working on this project and just one of the things that has happened is that when we put our tile flooring in over 12 years ago we got some great tile that was a really good deal it was a tile 12 x 12's around $1.35 a sq ft...a number of years went by we added onto the house with a formal entry way and found that the same tile was still out there it had changed a bit to a 13 x 13 so we got it and put it down nobody knew it was different.....so when we started this we thought no way they would still make it but behold it is still out there : ) So you see Cliff is at the very end of laying tile down .

Here he is on his knees putting in the last of the grout

While he was doing that Tom the great friend ! was installing the T&G in the pantry.

Look close at this photo ....yes that is my bar sink and pot filler facet coming out of the log : ) When Cliff told me he wanted to do this I thought will OK but now I see it I once again know I have been blessed with a VERY creative hubby !

The picture below is looking at the log / pot filler / and behind that is the rack holding my dishes....yes I still need to paint the "Dish Pantry" and Hutch. So that was my project today was once again doing some more samples of bead board and Red & Yellow paints....hopefully we can get the process we want to do figured out soon....and oh yeah look at the stained butcher block counter top !

Over the weekend I got the pantry filled up door is on order....

I have been using my new kitchen sinks, dish washers, and stove love them all : )
So Cliff took this weekend to wash the outside in preparation to staining......

YOU can't see it above but he was power washing the logs ....below he turned around to see if he could wash me : )

So today he started the staining....and that should wrap up the outside.

Again any of these pictures you want to see bigger just click on them....see you next time !
