Countertops...hmmm....

Mmmmm....Jimmy Johns!  (and lunch with Kade, yeah!)  Today we had to go pick up some more plumbing supplies...can I just tell you...plumbing takes FOREVER!!  So we went and scoped out some possible countertop options at a store next to Plumbers Supply.  We know we want to do the wood countertop on the main part of our cabinets (against the wall), but we're still thinking about possibilities for the island.  I'd LOVE to have a big flat surface that I can roll pie dough and fondant out on!  We're thinking about Silestone, but just can't decide for sure...that's an expensive commitment!

My favorite place to eat!  :)
I had to go by the auction on my way home...and look what I found...This newly painted but old white cabinet!  I LOVE IT!!  Gotta have it!!  It will be mine, oh yes....it will be mine  :)  Anybody know what that's from?  (just replace it with she...Wayne's World, lol!)  Does anyone ever remember Wayne's World anymore?  Anyway...it's going to be for sale on tomorrow night...so we might have to take a break and go to the auction instead!

This must be mine!!  Isn't it so cute??
So here are a couple of countertops that I liked...the top one is called Tigris Sand.  It's kind of a beige & white color.  I REALLY like it.  It's not sparkly or anything.  This one is quartz and it's made by Silestone.  The salesman is going to email me with a price...we'll see how horrible it is, lol!

Tigris Sand Silestone

A couple Cambria colors...Buttermilk is the top and I can't remember the bottom two, lol.  I must have really liked them, NOT...Buttermilk was my favorite...and it was pretty much exactly the same as the Tigris Sand from Silestone!
I guess I'm just going to have to keep shopping!  There's SOOOOO much to pick out!  It's a bit overwhelming!  Who's idea was it to tear this house apart??

Dang!!

Well shoot...we totally forgot to get the pocket door frames when we bought the lumber, so I had to run to Home Depot and pick them up today.  I stopped and visited with a friend on the way...took Jimmy John's to another friend and had lunch....got a little Valentine surprise in my Jimmy Johns chips  :)

Isn't that the cutest thing?  It was right there on top when I opened the bag!
A little heart!
Dang I just love Jimmy John's, lol!

This is all we got done tonight!  It took awhile to figure out the TERRIBLE directions that came with the pocket door frames!  We framed the two walls that will actually hold the pocket doors.  Tomorrow we will stand them up and frame the wall for the bathroom and the back wall to the laundry room!  Those will be pretty easy.  We'll see what else we can get done.  Is it terrible that I wish Kade would get a snow day so we could just work all day long??  Not much gets done when you're just there a few hours.  You spend half of that time getting your tools ready and figuring out what you've actually got to do!  COME ON SNOW DAY!!  :)  We've gotta get this room done asap!  They're coming Thursday morning at 9 to do the measuring for the kitchen, mudroom and laundry/clutter room!
