Cabinets and Apples

Now that the home is locked at night we've taken to sneaking in during the day.  On the most recent visit, the tile layer was there working on the 2nd bath upstairs.  Things are really taking shape now.  The cabinets are in and the baseboard is down.  Here's a view of the kitchen.

We have no regrets in the chosen color.  On the right you'll notice the "Morning Cabinet".  That was an extra we splurged on.  There are actually two cabinets each with a glass front placed on both sides of a window.  The idea for this space is to have a place to put our wedding china.  That's a thrill - having something to do with the wedding china other than storing it in boxes our entire lives!  Here's a close up of one of the cabinets.

Enough of the house.  Now for some local Sacramento sightseeing.  The other weekend we went to Apple Hill in the Placerville area.

We had a good time.  There's a maps with each site numbered.  We had an experienced friend (thanks Dave) provide his recommended itinerary.  It was a good time.  The donuts and apple cider were good, the area beautiful, the air crisp and the fall colors dazzling for Arizona natives like us!  We plan on going back next year.

Deck the Walls

We already own some vintage cycling posters that will be prominently displayed in the den.  Our source is World Cycling Productions.  They have a great selection including all our favorites.

 

Now to the previous post's quote.  It's from one of our favorite movies..."North by Northwest".  We're thinking of hanging a movie poster near the TV in the family room.  Something like this from MoviePosters.com...

What movie poster would you choose to hang in your house?

We have a closing date!

We heard this week that we'll close on the house on December 29th.  Not the greatest time to be moving but the excitement we have to be in the house makes up for it.  Now the house is locked when they're not working on it so we can't get inside.  Oh well.

After peeking in the windows today we saw that the interior paint is done.  Baseboards are down.  Cabinets are in and the most beautiful brown.  There is definitely no second guessing on the pick of colors.  Overall, the color scheme will be warm and inviting.  The front entry decorative rock is in.  Here's a photo.

A recent post at Habitually Chic had this photo.

Aren't the stacks of books great?   Love it!

We'll try to post more this week...with an idea of what the next post will be about we'll end with this quote.

Now you listen to me, I'm an advertising man, not a red herring. I've got a job, a secretary, a mother, two ex-wives and several bartenders that depend upon me, and I don't intend to disappoint them all by getting myself "slightly" killed. 

Kudos to those who know what this is from.
