Day 74 "Let There Be Light!"

April 12, 2011

This was the 18th day of the remodel, and I am now moved back completely into the kitchen. The makeshift kitchen in the living room has been disbanded and everything has returned to (dusty) normal. I'll miss that little kitchen. It was convenient while watching tv to just walk about 4 steps to fix something to eat!

In this pic, I believe all lights were set to low-ish.
Just the pendants are on here. The ones over the table are on full power but are on a dimmer that goes down to less than candlelight. Loff them! Here, I have added the can lights on high. They're also on a dimmer, which I love. In this pic, I have added the undercabinet lights on high. They have 2 settings and off, and are controlled by one switch, but can be used separately. They make the copper in the granite sparkle, and I'm all about the glam! Painting is finished and the fan is back in place. The new crown mouldings will be added later this week. We also still need baseboards in the kitchen and the shoe moulding around the cabinet bases. The new door in the kitchen will be hung on Friday.

It's coming together! I hope to have the curtains up by this weekend. The windows look so huge and harsh w/o them. The fan for the center of the kitchen has been ordered too. I don't want to *see* a fan in the center of the kitchen but there is no doubt we need one in hot weather.
