I'm on the edge - don't make me jump!

Hobbes is 17.5 years old. He jumped onto the counters by the wall (oops, undermount sink not visible from the floor!). He then leaped the 42 inches to the island. Impressive for an old man!

OT - but look what I found in my backyard!

Island / floors

Back splash going in

Not yet grouted so its look will change a bit... This is honed crema marfil marbil cut into 3x12 bricks (out of 12x12 tile).

Granite is in!

While we were on vacation, the granite went in. I think Dimitre at Custom Stone did an excellent job! The island is one piece. There is a 1/2" steel plate under that pop out. David test it with 2 guys standing on it. I don't think we'll have an issue :)

The biggest things left in the kitchen are backsplash, those shelves in the corner, and knobs/pulls (which would have been done already if I could make a decision!). And of course appliances - but that's the very last thing -currently scheduled for the day after Labor Day unless then get a cancellation.

Bedroom paint color

Bedroom has been painted. The color is Benjamin Moore Quiet Moments, as done by Kelly Moore (contractor gets much better price there but the BM store is a few blocks from my house so that's where I find the samples!) Floors are nearly done - I think there's some buffing left to do.
