Putting It All in Perspective

Here is a wide shot, taken from the breakfast nook, that helps put all the pieces into their proper place.

Those are the pantry doors to the left, the main part of the kitchen in the center and the strip of wood on the right is the side of the leaded glass cabinet.

There is a cart that will go into the empty space to the left of the fridge.  It pulls out to give access to the cabinet in the corner and also acts as a floating island so I can have work space on either side of the stove.

Details, Details

Nearly a year after we bought it, the bathroom sink is in and working.  Woo-hoo!  It actually looks a lot better than we expected since it's essentially a temp sink from Home Depot until we can afford to get something like this.

We still need a mirror.  Maybe chrome to go with the sconces?

A Pot to Piss In

I don't even want to say how long we spent looking at toilets, only to buy pretty much the first one we had considered.  It's got a sink above the tank so that the tank fills when you wash your hands, etc.

We discovered the sink was cracked when we took it out of the box.  We don't know if it happened in shipping or when the basement got robbed.

Sigh.  It looks like we'll be buying a lot things twice...

So Close, I Can Almost Wash My Hands in It

This is the drain for the sink in the basement. 

I feel like buying a special bar of soap to celebrate.

Erosion...the Good Kind

We really like this sink for our downstairs bathroom. It's a custom order, so kind of pricey, and it might be a bitch to clean...

Our New Shower

Our kitchen sink sprays out the front of the faucet. Redoing the kitchen is not on the immediate -- or even far -- horizon, so we've been trying to make do.

We had plumber's tape on it, which worked for a while. When that stopped working, I traded up to some saran wrap and a rubber band. Classy!

The saran wrap is starting to fail, so it's time to think of what to try next. Condom, anyone?
