The Missing Piece

This.

This toe space grille HVAC vent cover. 

This is the ONLY thing standing between me and a completely, completely, completed, finished, fully-remodeled kitchen. 

The touch-up painting is done. The floor varnish has dried. The platter rack has been hung and filled with, well, you know....platters. Dishes are put away. Wall decor has been framed and ready to hang. Everything is coming together. Except for that last puzzle piece, the toe space grill HVAC vent cover. 

The contractor came on Monday to complete the grille covers for the vents, but didn’t have the right size/type to install on one vent. He texted me from Lowe’s—they had brown, but not white. Drat! So I ordered it from the Evil Empire of Amazon. It is on a truck, due to arrive here today, and I’m very close to getting in my car and driving around neighborhoods to find the UPS truck and harass the driver until he gives me my vent cover. But I won’t. I’ll wait, patiently, as I have for the past five months.

I said goodbye to the cabinet guy late last week. Said goodbye to the painters yesterday. I think I will actually miss these guys. They’ve been around so much my dog no longer barks when they’re at the door, and she goes straight to them for pets. After they’ve all gone, the house will be very, very quiet. 

Guess we’ll have to start another remodeling project! Ha!

The thing is done. Exactly five months to the day after it was begun, the remodel of our kitchen is complete. Our contractor came over on a Thursday to place the vent cover. Barely 15 minutes later he got up, dusted off his hands, and said, “well, that’s it.” “Well, that’s kind of anticlimactic, isn’t it? I was expecting a bit more fanfare,” I said. He laughed. “Well, to be honest, I was expecting that the vent cover wouldn’t fit.” He almost seemed disappointed that it did fit. After all, we’d been in each other’s lives for five months, and it was drawing to a close. “I was thinking I should open a bottle of champagne, but it seems a bit early for that.” I could see his eyes crinkling up in a smile over his mask. “Well, I guess that depends on how you want the rest of your day to go.” He went out to his truck and brought back a small package, a handmade salad server set in a beautiful dark wood. “I remembered that you liked Ken’s work,” he said. Ken is a local wood turner ...

Carpet vs. Hardwood—Adventures in Flooring (and a little painting too!)

  When we first walked through this house almost two years ago, we were sure that it was The One. And we were also sure that THIS would be the first thing to go: OK, so maybe you like brown. Maybe you think brown is a neutral, and hey, does anybody really notice what’s under foot that much? Maybe you prefer the warmth of a thick carpet on your feet when you get out of bed at 3a.m. to go to the bathroom. But also, maybe you don’t have severe dust allergies. Or cat allergies. Or a large collie that sheds a bucket a day of fur. (Or maybe you do, and you vacuum constantly.) BUT, we do have allergies and a shedding dog, and an aversion to Other People’s Dirt that is most surely hiding within the depths of the thick pile. We had lived for so many years in a house with all wood floors, and carpet just seemed foreign to us. So, replacing the carpet with hard flooring was #1 on the to-do list. But of course things change. The kitchen became a priority. The momentum then turned towards bathr...

The "before"

It is February 10 as I write this. We’re about to embark on a major kitchen remodel, and I’m going to blog about it. Not because we’re remodel experts. Not because we’re DIY-ers. Not because I’m trying to make money by using affiliate links for crap products that I don’t really want to buy or want you to buy (but if I do link it to something, it will be solely because it’s awesome and I want to share). Not because I’ve discovered some fabulous IKEA hack that will involve time and expertise I don’t have, and that will look good for five minutes until the damn thing falls apart. (I have a story about some bookshelves that will be told at some point.)  I’m writing a blog about it because I’m sick of remodeling blogs. You know the ones—with professional photos of bathrooms that look like they should be in Architectural Digest, or at least on Houzz or Pinterest, kitchens that have never even dreamed of stinky clouds of accidentally scorched garlic or splatters of Sunday morning bac...
