Wood, Kitchens and Bathrooms

It's really feeling like Autumn now with the cold nights and cooler days. Still, next week is supposed to be in the mid 70's for highs and high 30's for lows. The leaves are just starting to show hints of turning color. The farmers are setting up their pumpkin stands on the sides of the roads and we're loving every minute of it. Bought a huge, and very heavy pumpkin the other day on our way back from a Lowes run to Mountain Home so you should be seeing that come up in the blog soon.

We've got the chain saws buzzing and we're starting on cutting up all the slash on the sides of our property. If we're lucky we just might be able to get enough wood cut for the winter without having to buy any. Here's what we were able to cut in a couple of afternoons ....

This will have to be full and then some but it's a start ...


And some for the "cauldron" ....


And although Millie is displeased about not having her own personal patio anymore she still enjoys the area ....


We didn't care much for this sink in our kitchen .....


So we replaced it with this one .....


The dishwasher that was in the house didn't work and after much back and forth thinking on whether we should replace it or not, we finally decided to do it so here's a shot of the sink and the new dishwasher ....


Thanks to Diana and Nancy for turning us onto James .... a great plumber/handyman who did the sink and dishwasher install in 4 hours. Next up for him is some needed roof work .... time to fix those little leaks :)

Lea and I are still working on that darn pink bathroom. We spent over a week getting the carpet adhesive off the tile floor so now there's no way that we're not going to love and embrace the white and pink tiled floor :) Our challenge now is to do whatever it takes to the cabinets and countertop to try and subdue the pinkness of the room .... yea right. Ok so we stripped all the paint off the cabinets, cut a new countertop and cut in the sink hole yesterday. Today we'll mount the sink and plumb it, paint the cabinets black and then later this week we should be getting the black pebble stone we ordered to cover the countertop with ..... whew!

So here's what it looks like this morning .....


We'll see what it looks like this afternoon if we don't get sidetracked into doing something fun instead :)
