Week Two, Day Three

Mom and Dad met with the contractor today to finalize the kitchen cabinet sketches. They seem very excited about the plans and are looking forward to the new kitchen. Dad says the coolest part is the hidden drawer behind the baseboard in the butler's pantry. Dad will help me post the shop drawings tomorrow.

The slate for the kitchen floor and the marble for the bathroom were delivered today. The kitchen floor will be put down tomorrow. The slate looks really nice and we're all excited to finally see it on the floor. It's a steel gray color and will look something like this:


In the bathroom, we're using crema marfil marble on the floors and walls. In addition, there will be a white onyx mosaic border that goes around the room. Here's a picture of the crema marfil marble:


And here's the white onyx for the border:

Come back tomorrow for pictures of the finished kitchen floor!
