Kitchen Cabinets and Counter Tops

There have been lots of changes since last week. The kitchen cabinets are in (minus the hardware). The cabinets are also installed in the guest bathroom and in the laundry room. The counter tops are in also.

Most of the window sills are in and they are tiling our bathroom.

I took some pictures with my phone. Obviously, they are not the greatest. Everything is still dusty and messy, but you can still get an idea. I took a close up of the counter top followed by a close up of the vinyl floor or lineoleum (not sure which it is.) Not exactly the most exciting color choices! They will be practical, though. The pictures also show the wall color, I think.

Interior paint finished

I am back in town now. Even though it was a wet, overcast day, we went up to see the house yesterday. The inside is all painted and the outlet plates and switch plates are on. The linoleum (or vinyl?) is down in the utility room, the storage room and the guest bathroom. There are big cardboard boxes in the garage. I don't know if that is flooring, cabinetry or something else.

I'm OK with the paint color, but I know that eventually we will want to paint some walls different colors. It is a slightly textured paint. I didn't expect that, but I think it is fine.

The bathtub in the guest bath is still full of muddy water. It will be a great day when that gets emptied and cleaned up!

I got quotes from some movers when I was back in Indiana. We've been thinking about furniture arrangement in the new house. Today I tried to find some software that would help me visualize and plan my furniture arrangement.
