Lights, floors, action

I had been planning to write this earlier in the week. I had heard the big D's were doing something with lights so I asked Miked if the lights came on or something because I wanted to know if there was something I needed to take photos of for the blog. He said no, but on our walk with Claren around the block, Mom and I saw these awesome lights. Miked: as humble as he is talented.

These are the breezeway lights.

This is the front light. Isn't it perfect? Oh, and what's that yellow sign? So glad you asked ...

The floor guys came back and sanded and put the first coat of stuff on the floors.

Aren't they even cooler?

And full of ashy awesomeness?

I really want to run through, drop to my knees and slide all over the floor.

It is almost like a basketball floor and the trash can is the basket.

We also got all the cabinets and doors delivered. Can you guess where our cabinets come from?

It is a lot of cabinets!

They are all stored in the garage awaiting master craftsman Miked. They are working on trim and crown molding and other stuff now.

Finally, have you ever heard of a more manly color than Old Pickup Blue? Me either. But I am going with the blue on the right, not Old Pickup Blue on the left. The little D's agreed it was too light and Emily said it was the color of a nursery. The blue on the right better have a cool manly name, like Arctic Freeze Blue or Freakin' Stud Blue.

What's my color?

Mom had a friend who used to do that Color Me Beautiful style analysis. You know, she'd tell you whether you were a Summer or an Autumn or whatever. I never needed an analysis -- I rock each and every color of the rainbow, the dirt, the sky ... everything. I wonder, though, if Carol could help me figure out which color sample is my Kittery Point Green and which is the Ds' Kennebunk Green.

I think this is mine. Miked thinks it too light.

I think this is the Ds', mostly because it is not on my floor or looking the right way for it to be my place. Mom noticed that.

This is K-dog's.

Here is what Emily and Miked were working on this week -- window trim! And holy cow, Miked might hurt me for saying this, but it looks so good, like a pro did it.

They finished the first floor except for the bump-outs with their big window bays. The second floor is almost done, too.

And it is a good thing, too. Tomorrow the cabinets come, and Super Miked is putting them.

P.S. I just found out that I was right about the colors.
