furniture was delivered today; everything is now set up in the family room!!! still have some stuff in boxes, but i think everything that i NEED is put away where they should be. now to decide if i want to stuff EVERYTHING back into the kitchen, or should i just get rid of a lot of the stuff that's left???

OMG!!! that family room cabinet is gonna be the death of me yet!!! i started putting the shelves up (i put the brackets in) then realized that the shelves were all too short!!! they're all about 3 inches too short lengthwise!!! made a quick call to the contractor, who said they'll get the right shelves, and it'll take about two weeks to be delivered. will this never end???

but there is a silver lining; i wanted to get extra shelves for the kitchen cabinets, but would have to order them through the cabinet maker to get the same finish. nina said that i could just keep the short shelves (the manufacturer would just send the right ones, but doesn't expect the original ones back). so, all ron has to do is cut down the shelves about 6" to fit the kitchen cabinets!!! at least something good came out of it!!!

more good news; lane home furnishings called today to say the furniture has come in (this saturday would have been three weeks, so it's in early). everything's being delivered on sunday!!! yippee!!! maybe we'll have movie night on sunday instead of saturday, so we can just be potatoes on the new sectional!!!

final inspection completed today!!! yippeee!!! so the kitchen is finally done!!! i mopped the floors and am now finishing the shelf paper (in the pantry). time to start moving back in!!!


the first picture is of the infamous family room cabinet, the one that took an extra two plus weeks to arrive, two weeks when nothing was being done but wait, and wait, and wait...

the furniture for the family room (sectional, end tables, rug) should be arriving pretty soon (3-6 weeks, and this week is the third). maybe it'll be delivered earlier than expected???
