[NMDemDist2]

here's a reminder of "before"



here's today-- we still need paint and the silverware drawer unit for under the epsresso machine was delivered yesterday too BIG. way too tall and too deep. so he's redoing it and hopefully we'll have it Friday

but great strides today, check it out

1. very nice, indeed. I really like that backsplash!

The countertop tiles were not changed out, right?

3. Goreous kitchen!

What a lucky and talented woman you are - great decorating ideas.

Miss you in Az!

4. hi!

:hi:

how are you? work easing up a bit I hope

it's good to see you around though either way :pals:

PS I didn't pick the tiles, just the grout color. the tile came with the house which is still a MESS

:rofl:

5. That is just beautiful. The backsplash tile is gorgeous, and that

terra cotta grout looks great. Also, those pottery crocks/canisters on your counter are very pretty. Are they new, or did you just have to buy them to go with your lovely new kitchen? Congratulations on your new digs.

6. thanks! the cannisters were a Xmas present last year but I never

used them in the old kitchen (no room)

they are perfect in here though :bounce:

AND..... I'll still have room for my copper bread box and cookie jar when the new drawer unit gets here

7. My mother-in-law had a cannister like the one next to your bread box.

Is that your "cookie jar?" MIL always used hers as an ice bucket. I think it had other pieces, like a 1950s martini shaker and strainer.

Where is the obligatory picture of your new housewarmer kitten? He is such a sweetie.

8. i thought you'd never ask ROFL

as for the cookie jar, it says "Cookies" on it so that how I use it :evilgrin:

we named it "Squeak" and it answers to it, so it must be the right name

[japple]

9. He sure does look comfy. Mr. or Ms. Squeak must know he/she

found a soft touch. Thanks for providing another kitten fix for me today.

[NMDemDist2]

10. soft touch is right. It's going to the vet today to get shots and a gender

:rofl:

[Warpy]

11. OK, I'm dying to know

Him or her?

I'm also wondering how long it will take poor Squeak to grow into those ears.

[NMDemDist2]

12. LOL it's a girl!!

and I think she'll always be a big eared, long tailed, slab sided cat (like her mom next door)

she's sleeping on my purse at my feet as we speak and doing great after baby shots, ear mite medicine and wormer

:loveya:

13. Looks great, AZ,

[NMDemDist2]

hope you had a nice trip! and you still owe us pics of the kitchen totally done!
