You have permission to stare...

I am finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel! Travis came and got my shutters put on today along with my new screen doors I had gotten earlier. I can't believe how good it looks. The shutters really pull the house together. It doesn't look so big and white anymore. It just looks like a cute little house. My screen doors also look super good! I had thought about getting wooden screen doors but after I did some research I found out that they tend to sag within a couple months, so I think these storm doors will do just fine. It really looks good. These pictures don't even come close to doing it justice. If any of you are ever out and about, drive east of Millerton and come see me! I think I drove by 6 times tonight just looking at it!
I also picked out my kitchen tile and carpet for the master bedroom this weekend. I think it has been the toughest decision I have had to make so far in this "little" project of mine. I wanted my kitchen tile to match the tin ceiling so I took a small piece of tin to Horton Floor Covering and Marjorie laid out several options and I took a couple home and looked at them in different light, different angles, and different placements in the kitchen/mudroom/bathroom and after 48 straight hours of flooring on my mind, I finally came to a decision. The tile and carpet will be laid the end of this month of the beginning of June.
I also heard from my cabinet maker. He told me that he could have them done by Saturday if I needed them. Heck, I've waited this long so I just told him to do a good job and I can wait until next week. So maybe this time next week I'll be posting pictures of my new kitchen! *Fingers crossed*
So this week I am going to start cleaning my baseboard and my trim around my doors and windows. I also need to start thinking about re-finishing my wood floor. I think I'm just intimidated because it's going to be a big job and quite a bit of work. But hey...has that stopped me yet????
