The sink will be under the window, with the diswasher to the right and a drawer for the trash can on the left. The carpenters sent me out to buy the trash can Thursday afternoon, but when I returned with it, they had gone and haven't been seen since. Sort of a snipe hunt for carpenters, I guess. You may notice some triangles stuck on the wall. I want a white tile backsplash with these decorative tiles interspersed. I had to put down a $100 deposit to bring the tiles home, and then they were stuck to the board and not removable. So I stuck the board on my copier, then cut out a bunch of the tile copies and taped them to the wall until I had a good idea of how far apart I want them. The cabinets are going to be white beadboard, except for the two beside the sink, which will have glass doors. The countertop will be a light gray silestone. I have an old butcherblock table that I will use as an island. The carpenter is going to build a new base for it with storage and I'm going to paint the bottom part corflower blue. So with my mustardy yellow walls, white cabinets and blue island, I hope I end up with a country French look. And if not, oh well, blue and yellow just happen to be my two favorite colors.

The stucco guys are here -- I need to go do a little supervision now.
