Orville and Juan have been here putting down the new flooring this week. Yay!

I failed to take the best photo… Orvile spent most of yesterday chiseling out the end of the boards that go into the office/spare bedroom. The boards from the hallway had to be toenailed into that room. Once floored, I can't even tell what's new and what's old. (FYI – the blue tape holds the boards tightly together as the glue sets.)

In a related bit of remodel news, there was some leftover Caesarstone from our bathroom. I asked our fabricator cut it to fit this table:

Love the top, didn't love the wood below. All of a sudden it was too much 'wood' in one place and I wasn't the only one who thought so. Steve agreed. I painted the table base the same blue as is in the back of the cabinets in the breakfast room, nearby…

The photo is a bit dark but when I took it with the flash, the blue went electric. In person it's subtler than it is here.

If you have stone or stone-like countertops installed, be sure to ask about the leftover materials. If there is a big enough piece left over you might have a good place for it. You may have to pay for the cuts (I did) but that's a lot cheaper than buying this sort of thing by itself.
