And I hope you're getting well deserved sleep and rest.&nbsp;This time next year that'll be my tune too, I hope :-)</p> <p>I love your kitchen. We just finished designing ours and will start shopping for the white one too. And we also have drawers everywhere. And, I will finally have raised worktops in the kitchen, not regular ones I always had to hunch over.</p> <p>I also love the the sculpture you bought. Funnily we too will have the windows on the west side only in the hallway&nbsp;and I am already thinking about something along the lines of this piece (metallic, shiny) to put on the opposite wall to bring more light into the area.</p> <p>It is all soooo exciting! Good luck with the unpacking and enjoy your beautiful new home. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-ive-been-buying#post-953942 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 10:21:01 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 953942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies.&nbsp; I did the final paperwork with the bank and lawyer yesterday and the movers are scheduled for tomorrow morning.&nbsp; I have been dropping by the house often the last week and it is amazing how much can get done in a few days.&nbsp; There were painters in the morning doing touch ups, electricians in the afternoon doing the final few items (hood vent and plug on island), and the closet insert guy in the evening.&nbsp; The electrician said he was back today to hook up the hot water tank and the kitchen sink and bathroom mirrors still need to be finished.&nbsp; I am both excited and anxious.&nbsp; I have done all of the big packing and have cleaned the three bathrooms and all the kitchen cupboards but there are little things left in most rooms and I have to pack the breakable stuff like vases and lamps.&nbsp; I am already getting tired and did nothing last evening.&nbsp; Wish me luck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-ive-been-buying#post-953842 Wed, 12 Jun 2013 03:10:25 +0000 Echo 953842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I love the countertops and the metal sculpture piece, too.

Love the things you've been buying, especially that sculpture. WOW. </p> <p>Nine or ten days more until move-in date? </p> <p>This is better than NAS - a kind of "Christmas in July" so to speak. While I realize it'll take awhile to get everything set up, I sure hope you write and/or post pics here in the off topic section here as you can. I can't wait to see what you come up with in your new home! </p> <p>Best wishes for a perfectly efficient and uneventful move. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-ive-been-buying#post-947024 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 00:07:33 +0000 Transcona Shannon 947024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm positively drooling over that sculpture Dianthus - did you find that locally?It's got such great movement in it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-ive-been-buying#post-946775 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 13:17:26 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 946775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I edited the first post to add a pic of a piece of metal art sculpture.&nbsp; It looks pretty and I love the movement, </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-ive-been-buying#post-945770 Fri, 31 May 2013 14:54:53 +0000 texstyle 945770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So PRETTY - these will be such a treat to look at each day.
