still nothing new; waiting for the trim kit for the bottom of the island, glass for cabinet, and the family room cabinet.

we did go looking for new furniture for the family room, though. last weekend we went to a few places around fremont and got some ideas. this weekend we went to lane home furnishings in walnut creek and found what we wanted. i guess we're eating mac&cheese for the next few months (poor bradley will starve!!!).

we got a sectional (hendrix by lane), two end tables, and an area rug (greenie abstract pattern). the first pic is of the sectional we bought (the top is the sectional style, but in the bottom color). the second pic is the layout in the family room. the "cutoff" for the family room lines up with the doorway into the main hallway. the big square on top left corner that's at an angle is our old "white" leather recliner (it'll stay if it fits in). the wedge we got is actually rounded on the back end, not squared off as in the picture (the program ron used to set the layout didn't have any curved wedges). i hope the sectional actually fits in the room; from the measurements they gave, it's gonna be close, but according to their setup program, we should have lotsa space.

the furniture should be coming in 3-6 weeks, so that will be just when they'll be finishing up with the remodel.
