We’re going to have to give in and go to a motel for a couple of days as the floor installation gets underway. As bothersome as that is, when you have a two-story house and you’re blocking the stairway and you need to put moisture barrier down on the rest of the floor, there isn’t much maneuver room. This would be the time to have French doors off the master that leads outside. However, since we’ve never before needed that, and I can’t really think of another time when we might, I suppose a couple of days of inconvenience is okay.

We bought the new range hood and faucet yesterday, plus picked up some paint cards. We’re seriously considering going with one of the new composite granite sinks, but they have to check and see if they can get it in the color that I want. Onyx will definitely not do. Back when we had the black appliances and darker granite, that would have been appropriate. We’re going for a bit lighter look this time as well as stainless appliances, so either the mocha or champagne color for the sink is what I am looking at.

The new door is installed in the master and the new pantry almost completed. They can’t hang the door until the floor is installed and then there is an odd little curve to the wall that will probably mean hubby has to custom build the shelving for the pantry. How nice that he can design as well as build.
