These cabinets were done in a vanilla glaze with a nutmeg accent and then baked.  The pictures don't do it enough justice. They're so beautiful.

In just 2 1/2 weeks the landscaping will be installed and in just 3 1/2 weeks mom’s home will be ready for her to close on.  Today the cabinets were installed and the next few days the final painting of the interior will be complete.  Next week the granite, glass tile and tumble marble back splash, and the lighting will go in.  The driveway and sidewalk are being poured tomorrow.  I’m not happy with the stone on the fireplace.  I thought that the stone should have be placed on the sides as well, but I was overturned a few weeks ago.  Well, I think I may still get my way, but it might not be able to get completed until after the close so that there aren’t any delays.

I think many of you will agree, Mom and I did a fine job with the changes we made to the plans and our design choices.  When the landscaping is installed, you’ll see the vision for the exterior come together and when I finish decorating the interior it’ll really look beautiful.
