Cabinets Finished and Painting

It has been a couple of weeks since I updated the status of the house.  We were in Birmingham, AL last week in the RV tending to a family matter.

The cabinets are now completed.  As the photo at the left shows, the doors and drawers have been added, and they have been stained and finished.  We are very pleased with the way the look.  You will have to ignore the painters clutter on the counter top.

The painters have also completed the walls.  Picking the paint color was quite a ride.  At the painter's suggestion we picked a color (rice grain) that when applied turned out to have a green cast.  It looked awful!  The bad part was that the painters had already done the upstairs and entry area.  After agonizing about it, we asked the painters to stop work and consider a new color.  They were not pleased, but they ultimately came over to our side.  We went to the Sherwin Williams store and picked a beige (realist beige).  It looks great!
