Though we closed on the house a week ago, we still won't live there for another week. The kids are finishing up school, so we've just been making a few trips when we can with boxes and such. I took the kids over tonight, and while they played, I assembled the kitchen stools. They were a breeze to put together. Each one took under 15 minutes. I bought them from hayneedle.com. I highly recommend them...great products, great prices, and free (and fast) shipping.

I really like how I can put a stool at the end of the peninsula
so that all three kids have plenty of room. |

| Just a random kitchen pic :) |

| My huge fridge. It is 31 cu. ft. of awesomeness! |
And since everyone else is posting pictures of blinds this week, I didn't want to be left out. The pictures aren't great because of the sun, but I have proof that something has been accomplished:
 |
| J's room |
 |
| N's room |
 |
| L's room |
The next project will involve ceiling fans and lights, but it looks like that will happen after we move. One week left to pack!!!
You are doing great job Rachel! I have to be honest those task I always pass onto my husband or an installer. There is a lot to be said for doing the work yourself. :-)
ReplyDeleteThat frig looks like it could be a walk-in closet! **a little jealous**
ReplyDeleteI think the fridge is larger than some closets I've had in the past!
DeleteLOL yeah i might be a little jealous of the fridge too great job!
DeleteEverything looks awesome! Nice job on the stools and lol on the blinds --Ericka
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm still busy packing, but hopefully by tomorrow night, I will have my kitchen pretty much unpacked. If only the rest of the stuff would pack itself!
Deletewhat size are the bar stools? Are they all the same size?
ReplyDeleteI have three 24" stools around the peninsula and two 29" stools for the breakfast bar. You could probably fit 4 stools around the peninsula, but I wanted elbow room for the kids.
DeleteThanks, I like them! I may copy you on those. Wish I could update you and everyone on the "Pink" issue but the situation has gotten ugly :(
DeleteCopy away! I'm sorry to hear that you're still "pink." Can it really get uglier than that? I hope they resolve that problem soon!
DeleteSo I am devastated. They want a substantial sum of money to un-pink me....what a miserable bitter soon to be Ryan homeowner they have created. I'm keeping it off my blog for now but I will make sure the world knows how miserable I am about the largest purchase of my life.
DeleteOh, Stuart, I am so sorry! I was hoping that since you hadn't mentioned it lately that it had been resolved. Wasn't there an issue with the names, as in what you selected had a different name from what they installed? What are you going to do?

Thanks Thomas, yes I have them. Very bummed today. The turn of events is staggering. I will share every detail after its final.
DeleteTotally checking out hay needle!
ReplyDeleteLooks great- congrats!
Are you guys putting a fan in your morning room? I have no idea what size of fan to put in mine. I really like this one for the family room but I want them to match and I think this one would be way too big for the morning room.
