Oh no! Speedy recovery to DD!

I hope your daughter isn't in too much pain and that she heals quickly, Sue.

Love that last photo.

Youth is what your daughter has on her side and obviously if she a gymnast she is in excellent shape. Wishing her a speedy recovery.

Sorry to hear about this setback. Wishing your daughter a speedy recovery.

Latest picture is lovely.

I’m so sorry about your DD’s injury and surgery, Sue. Wishes for a speedy recovery and calmness for you. Thankful most of your kitchen is finished and hope you feel ok about ‘leaving’ while the last bits are being completed. Its great!

Your kitchen is beautiful and will end up perfect ...as will your sweet Dd.

Sorry to hear of your daughter's injury and upcoming surgery. Hope it all goes well.

Your kitchen is stunning- love the backsplash!

Wishing your DD a very speedy recovery!

oh Sue so sorry to hear of your daughter's injury. Yes it is always something isn't it? Praying for quick healing for your daughter and some peace and comfort for you. hugs.

Your kitchen is gorgeous! Best wishes for the best possible outcome for your daughter.

Hate hearing this sad news about your daughter, hope she heals quickly.

So sorry to hear this about your daughter - best wishes for a speedy recovery. And your kitchen is beyond lovely! Take care -

Thank you all. Surgery is today and houzz is helping to distract me. Still can’t believe this happened, what a way to begin her college gymnastics career...she worked so hard to get here. But she’s amazingly strong both physically and mentally and her teammates, friends, and coaches/trainers have been incredibly supportive. She’s in good hands. DH and I rented an air b&b near the college so she could have surgery with the ortho dr recommended by the coaches and stay with us for a week (if she needs to — at least thru the weekend). It’s been a crazy few days.

I feel so sorry for your daughter! I hope the surgery goes well and she is on a path to healing soon. It Is so great that you can be there for her and offer her the comforts of the rental (especially if she lives in a dorm). Thinking of you and your daughter and wishing you all the best!

I hope surgery went well and your daughter has a speedy recovery. It's great you could be close by.

Oh, ouch! Hope the surgery went well and she recovers quickly.

Bless her heart! I had an achilles issue a couple years ago. Dr. wanted to "clip it" (surgery) but I opted for PT (months of PT). Worked, but very painful situation. I hope your daughter has a quick and easy recovery.

Sue, so sorry to hear about your daughter’s injury. DS broke his wrist skateboarding last year while away at school and needed surgery, so I can empathize. It was very stressful for me. I was not able to go, only DH could. I am happy both you and dh can be there for her.

Hope she is better soon!

Thanks everyone. She is (and always has been) a trouper! I think I was more traumatized by the surgery than she was. Anyway, she is back at school as of this morning (earlier than I wanted, but she’s stubborn and wanted to get back) with her shiny new scooter (and crutches). We‘ll have her home for Thanksgiving and she will have her stitches out, and cast put on, the day before. Then 2 weeks later, a boot — for 4 weeks. She’ll be able to walk in regular shoes then (at the 8 week mark) but then the PT begins and she can’t do any jumping movements for at least 4 more months. It will be close to a year before she’s really doing gymnastics again.

Her coach has made her “team manager” so she will stay involved with her team. Today she received a giant card signed by all her teammates, all of whom said “we love you” which is amazing after only being part of the team for 2 months. I know she’s got tough days ahead but she‘s lucky to have a supportive team beside her.

Here she is test driving her new wheels.

Meanwhile, the electrician is still at my house at 7:30 on a Sat night, and it looks like the kitchen will be really and truly done by the end of the day Mon. Woohoo!

Oh boy-- glad she is recovering well but so sorry she has to deal with the injury/surgery/recovery. Sounds like she has great support all around her!

((((HUGS))))

Oh yikes! So sorry to hear about your daughter. She does sound very determined and that is at least half the battle. She'll do great things next season, I'm sure. (Oh, and yeah, your kitchen is spectacular!)

So glad your daughter is on to the recovery phase of this ordeal. Wishing you all the best in this journey.

Ah, youth! Already back at school! While those are probably not the wheels she’s been dreaming of, she will be happy to have them.

I am happy your kitchen will be wrapped up soon. It is truly lovely, warm and welcoming.

Yesterday, they put in the appliances. The fridge is no longer in the dining room, hurray! The best part of yesterday was finally being able to hang a painting we bought in Santa Fe (in place of the fridge). And yes, that’s a toaster oven on the dining table...still a work in progress!

Some misc stuff for contractor and electrician to do today, but I think we’ll be truly done by the end of the day!

How exciting!!! Gorgeous art. Love your ceiling fixture as well. What a dream kitchen you've created. (Glad to read your daughter is recuperating so well.)

I love everything about your kitchen - but your DD's red wheels are fantastic!

Every detail is perfect Sue! It all fits beautifully in your Victorian home.

I am so sorry about your daughter's injury. Glad she has such a supportive team, that alone bodes well for her recovery.

Just tried to start a new thread with before and after pics but it wouldn’t go through...grr...so will just add them here. We are 95% done, close enough to share final pics.

Quick glance at the “before”

And now.

Not convinced this little bookcase belongs here, but we have it, so here it is at least for now.

A cushion is being made for the bench below. The fabric is a tweedy chenille with pale green and turquoise. I have a couple more pillows too.

Everything turned out so beautifully! Such wonderful choices - I'm sure your new kitchen makes you smile every time you walk in it. Enjoy!

Gorgeous!

I distinctly remember your before photos that you posted when you bought your new home. You have done an incredible job in transforming the spade. It is so bright, happy and well executed. I love everything about it!!! Congrats on your new gorgeous kitchen!

I loved all the elements you chose-- but it's come together so much better than I could imagine. It's gorgeous! sophisticated AND fun-- and that's not easy to achieve!

So much lighter and brighter. Congratulations on a beautiful job. I just love the breakfast nook. Enjoy!

So pretty, Sue. I love the dining area. Did you take that cow from your place in RI? Pretty sure I have envied it before! I also like the little sink alcove; it's charming but I think it would also be nice functionally. Great choices. Enjoy your kitchen!

The entire space is so beautiful and looks very functional as well. Charm to the max.

Congratulations! It looks great! I, too, love the sink alcove. The whole room is filled with wonderful spaces. Enjoy all of it.

The kitchen turned out perfectly. The colors, the materials, the details, are all picture perfect. And your art stands out so beautifully against that gorgeous palette. Style for miles.

It's absolutely perfect! It looks so fresh and pretty and like a wonderful space to simply BE in. I hope you're loving every moment now!

Yep, just perfect!

Thank you all so much! I'm actually going to bake something tomorrow, woohoo! I haven't really baked much in the past 15 months we've lived here because the oven never worked right.

I appreciate all your enthusiasm along the way. My IRL friends just aren't that interested in the obsessive details like some of us are! They just want to know where the wine and snacks are.

Mtn, that cow painting has moved around quite a bit. It was actually purchased at the tail end of our last kitchen renovation, in our other house, about 13 years ago. Then the cows moved to our cottage for a few years...then we moved, and we were missing the cows, so they came back and were hung on another wall in the kitchen here. So this time they just moved about 8' from where they used to be.

Love all the latest photos. Hope your daughter's recovery is proceeding well. Wishing you and your family a lovely Thanksgiving holiday at home with the new kitchen : ) .

love the pale cabinets
looking forward to more photos

houzz is acting up for me, as now I see more pots with the afer photos.. looks fantastic.

Sueb- this is beautiful!! Love, love it all- the cab color, soapstone (makes me wish I had it!), the bay windows, eating nook!

Hope you daughter continues in her recovery & you & your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving in your new kitchen:)

Thank you, thank you! We are enjoying the kitchen (I’ve made apple crisp and cinnamon bread this week!) and DD is handling her crutches and knee scooter well (gymnastics skills/strength come in handy). Snow is coming in a few days...that will add an extra element of difficulty but at least it held off until she got used to the crutches, etc.

I love it all, and am glad to hear that your DD is recovering well Sue. Happy Holidays!

Sue, it’s absolutely beautiful!!! I love the colors and LOVE your new art so much. I tried to post my modest kitchen revamp but can’t bring up the conversations side on my phone posts. If you want to see ... it’s here https://www.houzz.com/discussions/5832268/my-kitchen-facelift#n=0

I’m Almost Done, just need to finish toe kick area.

We are both at the finish line yeah!!!
