It's been a while since I've shared our renovation project with you. As you can see, we have come a long way.
Our new kitchen, family room and studio have been framed and insulated.
Then came the drywall . . .
. . . and new oak flooring to match the hardwood throughout the rest of the house.
Trim work and painting began last week. Does the paint color below look familiar? It's the same as our former house's family room and studio — Benjamin Moore's Turquoise Mist. Love that color!
Cabinets and sinks will be delivered tomorrow. We are so ready for the kitchen to be complete because for the past two months, our living room has been doing triple duty.
Not only is it where I work, it's where we watch TV and cook, too. Very cozy, and kind of strange having a refrigerator and hot plate in the living room. Dishwashing takes place in a small powder room sink at the other end of the house.
I'm so looking forward to setting up and working in my new studio, below. I have several projects on hold because most everything I need is still packed up in boxes in our garage and basement.
One of the things patiently awaiting studio completion is my new table. This 1950s relic with a nifty chrome apron and legs will eventually be a work/sewing surface.
Pretty adorable — don't you think?
Susan
That is a cute table . . . and just perfect for you!
Your home is coming along nicely- hope it's done soon. :)

Gosh, I love that table! So pretty. It would make me happy just to look at it everyday, and maybe make me want to sew more!:) Your house is beautiful. It will be so fun to decorate it when it's all done.

Susan I love your archway and your new family room. I really, really love your new table. My mom had an aqua and white one, would you believe it's still in the old shed at my mom and dad's house but it is not in good shape at all. I love yours because it is red and it has the teapots or coffee pots, I'm not sure which.
You might just start a new fad with the fridge in the living area. I bet it would be just fine for all the guys because that would mean the food is near their chair. LOL.

Ah, love the sweet vintage table...I've always loved them but never found a decent one for a great price...still hoping.
