Looks like summer will not be ending soon
Comments (8)This whole year has been weird so nothing that the weather does from this point forward will surprise me. We got an inch of rain over the weekend and about an inch last week. On top of the June-July rainfall that fell, we are about as green in August as I ever can remember. Unfortunately, our really wet August of 2005 was followed by massive wildfires beginning in October 2005 and running through most of 2006, so the important thing is that the rain needs to keep falling this fall and winter. Otherwise, all this lovely green vegetation we have right now will just become fuel for wildfires. It has been hot lately---98 at our house today, but sometimes at this time of the year we are at 105-110, so 98 doesn't feel nearly as bad as it sounds if you compare it to those other years that had a significantly hotter August. We have had rain-cooled air or clouds some days that were from rain that was somewhat close to us and missed us, and even though we didn't get the rain, having even an extra hour or two a day of cooler temperatures has been wonderful....See MoreTile going in NOW!

Comments (24)Thanks Pharaoh, and everyone. Prill, I had to go into the big city to get it. Natick Tile Showcase, to be exact. I tried to buy local, but just couldn't manage. Tonight, I have the feeling that I don't like the color of the counter with the tile. I have read about that initial shock response here so many times. I tell my clients to give it a few days when a new color goes on the walls. Intellectually, I know it will get better when everything is put back together. Right now, I am just tired and kind of sad. Everything was bliss with the last kitchen. Sometimes I feel like nothing has gone right with this one. Off to a hot bath......See MoreWhat did you have to have, but ended up not using or repurposing?
Comments (26)We ordered a valance to connect the cabinets on either side of the window. The contractor and I agree that it's superfluous. It hides the nice light. We have a left over 12" cabinet and a 6" spice cabinet when plans changed. Hoping to use them elsewhere - maybe a workshop. There is a whopping re-stocking fee with KM, not to mention the energy of re-packaging and carting them to HD. We have an extra sink base for a farm sink but it was free with the order. We found we didn't like farm sinks so ordered another sink base that we had to pay for. KM was not interested in taking the other back and replacing it with a regular sink base. We bought a light that was 15" in diameter which was huge for the space. We were able to return that one though because they stocked it at the lighting store. Found an 11" diameter light at Lowes that I love. I have found that things like lights are very large and it is hard to judge by a picture even though they tell you the measurements. Everyone else has a mansion who could actually use them. Our other lights are Hinkley and Kitchler. They are big but look OK. We have an extra $5 light we bought on clearance for the lavette in the interim for when we found one we liked. Then we found one very soon after. It's really a mini chandelier that we took the chain off to 1 link. It's adorable with the glass crystals. The lavette is kind of victorian looking. We have an extra wall sconce that was for the hall way but it is really too big. We'll re-purpose that for the floor to ceiling chimney that already has an outlet for a sconce. We were going to rebrick but it looks good there. By and large we don't have much bought but not used stuff. We do have lots of extra boards and micellaneous stuff that the designer had us purchase but were unnecessary for the remodel. Where his mind was at I cannot tell you. We will wait for the end of install and take it all back to HD and INSIST that we get full price back for all the design errors. We have soft-close drawers and love them....See MoreEbay Chandelier...ends in soon..
Comments (18)Ttodd - It went for $70 plus the shipping. That's a bummer about the throw. Yup just tell yourself it wasn't meant to be! Parma - You might be right. I'll keep telling myself that too. I did email the seller earlier in the day asking how many inches you could shorten the chain and she replied saying only 4 1/2" so it actually would've been too long. A new light isn't on the top of my to do list but I'll just keep my eyes open. I think I can do better than the one that's up....See More- 10 years ago
