And now we have walls..and a light for the table

So today there was a significant change in the kitchen! Our walls have been closed back up with the drywall.  Its starting to look like an actual room again.  And no more air conditioning in the 140 degree attic.  Our electricity bills are instantly lower.

No more microwave! 

An actual wall.

Empty Kitchen

Ebear standing where the closet used to be.

I also looked and looked extensively for a light over the table.  I was beginning to get pretty frustrated because i liked nothing...that and everything was uber expensive.  By a stroke of luck I was on Craigslist and I happened to find this drum light for only $20.  Lighting disaster averted!

This is where out light will eventually hang.

EBear with our new light!

Tomorrow we should be getting the drywall taped and floated and then onto the texture! 

The update you have all been waiting for!!!!

Oh where oh where has scrambletron gone? Scrambletron has been waiting....waiting very very patiently for something, anything to happen in the kitchen. Plus updating is slow when a certain blogger, I won't name any names, cannot use a laptop.

This Monday the electrical passed inspection from the city. This was after a full week of waiting for the inspector to even show up at our house.

With the electrical done we were hoping to come home to a newly drywalled house with no more hole to the attic....which, with 102 degree temperatures outside, makes me fear the electrical bills this month. Well no drywall today, or should I say no drywall on the walls.

There's the drywall, but its not on the wall....

The drywall ended up not going up because the electrician had to wire smoke alarms throughout the entire house..I guess its part of the code or something.

To pass the time we decided to go look at granite! Our two faves were Via Lactea (left) and Pegasus (right).

We decided we like the Via Lactea the best!

Then I convinced ebear to take me to the HD to look at back splashes, lights, and paint samples! No far...no idea what I want! I am leaning towards a white marble subway tile, but do I put accents of glass mosaics in? If so do I put the accent at the bottom of the back splash or in the middle? Should I keep the blue we have in the kitchen? What color in the other room? Yellow? Blue? Tan? What light over the kitchen table? Fan? Drum pendant? Vintage chandelier? Vintage swag lamp? ARGH! way too many choices...I think I am starting to get on ebear's nerves with the questions :)
