Another day...painting, countertops, and more!

Today after work we finished painting the office (except for the ceiling). Elizabeth and I tackled the baseboards and moldings. The off-white color we picked is, well, whiter than we expected. We'll have to add color with draperies and such. We bought a 5 gallon bucket of paint so there's no going back now! We also worked on painting the master bedroom. It isn't perfect yet - there are still blue remnants we need to go over with another coat.

Ted worked on removing a kitchen cabinet so our refrigerator will fit in its provided space, and he put primer on the backsplash tile. We also picked out a laminate countertop pattern - blackstar granite. The little specs of peach in the coloring will match the peachy/tuscan floor. A big thanks to Catherine and George for the countertop! That will be going in next week. My dad will be putting in our new faucet and sink after the countertop is installed (another thanks to him for helping us!).

The big moving day is this Saturday. Unfortunately our carpet isn't ready yet, so we will have to live with the old blue stuff for a few days when we are moved in. We will have concrete floors in the living room for a little bit too, until we have the energy to tackle the flooring installation project. We're getting there... little by little.
