Day 31

Ceiling complete.

Day 30

Whoops. This paint color did not end up looking like we thought it would. As Betsy put it, "It's the color of the glow-in-the-dark stars you stick on the ceiling of a child's room." The name of this paint color? Moonglow. We should have known. Fortunately, our contractors are being patient with us while we regroup...

We tested it, and it does not glow in the dark.

Day 29

Transom window is in.

Day 28

Ceiling in progress.

Day 23

Window trim.

Day 22

Portrait of an island?

Ah, the island.

Day 21

Tiny powder room gains a transom window (or at least
the space for one).

Back Splash!

Day 18

Just a note that we are at the (scheduled) halfway point in this project.

Still a ways to go, but it's starting to look like a kitchen again.

Not much to look at on the inside yet, but the outside of
the powder room is really taking shape.

Day 17

Floors are in. Now all we need is a ceiling and we have a
real room.

Day 16

Here come the cabinets.

Day 15

We have walls.

Day 14

Tiny powder room, now in 3D.

Day 11

Gettin' curvy.

Installation of something that's been sorely missed every winter: insulation on
exterior walls.

Day 10

Range hood exhaust duct, blocked by chimney, takes a
detour through a future soffit.

Day 9

Starting to look a little brighter in here today.

Day 8

Sadly, minus the dangling Romex cable, this is what our kitchen ceiling has
looked like since the day after we moved in.

Day 7

Powder room above ground...

...Powder room below ground.

Day 4

Framing.

Day 3

View from the back patio...

...And just a few hours later.

Day 2

Rendering of a tiny powder room in blue painter's tape.
