The Powderhorn house goes on, our partner and Dave spent two days raking years worth of debris and leaves from the front and back yard. I took a tumble bringing in the toilet seats, of all things, but all is well now. The kitchen sink and faucet are in, both bathroom sinks and faucets are in, just waiting for the appliances to be delivered on Tuesday. They were supposed to come Thursday, but a series of events pushed it off til next Tuesday.
Our tile installer worked this weekend to transform a 70's style blue bathtub and surround to a gorgeous linen soleil rectified tile walk in shower with a band of soft gold glass decorative accent. Pictures to follow when it is completed.
Meanwhile, my favorite way to transform the honey pine colored cabinets of the eighties in our current transformation project . I bought some Provincial stain and seal liquid and rubbed it on, no sanding, and then wiped it off with a white terry towel. It darkened the finish just enough, and gave it a nice sheen without a total refinish. On the last house we did, the cabinets were a darker walnut, and I used ebony stain to refresh the finish. Now, the cabinets look great with the gorgeous granite we put in.
Still some yard work to do, but it is so hot, we have to take it slowly. However, the light fixtures are hung, hope to be ready for carpet this week. We ordered a new double door to create a new master suite area, hope it arrives Monday or Tuesday. Son Matt hopes to give us one more day before he takes off on a tour again (musician/technician )
Can't wait to start the finishing touches, staging, etc. That is truly the most rewarding part, from the before to the after!! Soon.....
