We're so close!!











Here are some of the latest and greatest. We still need to get a few things for the bathroom (mirror, towel rack, etc.) but we're pretty darn close! I'm really happy with how it looks. The wallpaper turned out so well.
The kitchen just needs a few little things as well (we're still deciding if we want a backsplash or not and a few little trim ideas). Other than that, we can move on to the next thing on the list. Just Kidding Simon!!
Looking forward to having many of you over for cocktails soon!! xx

Where were you on Wednesday at 7.30 AM??




Well, here's where we were! We picked out our marble slabs at Margranite in Burnaby. Caprice Countertops from Richmond is doing the fabrication for us. Me being me, I wanted to pick out the exact slabs for us to have. No easy feat when there are a 600 to choose from! We looked at a lot and finally settled on a three beautiful slabs of Bianco Statuarietto Marble - it's gorgeous!!
They are being installed on Wednesday the 22nd. Plumbing them happens on the 23rd. Then it's just lights and backsplash. Then we're DONE! :)

We're getting closer...



So much has happened in the last few days!
We've got cabinets, we've got lights, we've got a range, we've got laundry again!
We've got a toilet in the powder room!

Monday saw the installation of our cabinets from JMV Woodworks. Our main contact there Jon was fantastic. He really hit the nail of what we wanted to do and we're thrilled with the results. There are some little niggly things to fix, but we're in pretty good shape. One of the things that needs to be fixed is the cabinets in powder room. We went through the handle placement with our installer, but unfortunately he installed them incorrectly. New cabinet doors have to be cut, stained and installed. The installer probably got an ear full when he got back to the shop!

Next up was the electrician. All pot lights and puck lights in the cabinets were installed. Also, all the in floor heating was connected and it feels fantastic!

Then the gas installer came and we've now got a range! We can cook!!

We met with the counter top guy after work and we should have our counter tops in 3 weeks. Shortly thereafter we'll get the sink and everything else can then be installed. Sink, faucets, dishwasher, water and ice in the fridge.

Still waiting on the wallpaper (so we can finish the bathroom) and the pendant lights... stay tuned for more!!

Looking forward to putting everything in the cabinets this weekend!!
