More painting and appliances

I thought the painting days were almost over...ha! We now have touch up painting (for the gazillion holes and scratches from people working on the house) and all of our doors need a second coat. So this past weekend I caulked the holes in the trim on the first floor and then repainted it all. I also got the fireplace mantel done....it looks much better!


And all of our appliances are now in (minus washer and dryer). Of course, some still have protective wrapping on them but they work. Yay! We need to order a stainless steel backsplash for behind the stove.





If you noticed, our pendant lights above the island aren't in yet. That's because the electrician mismeasured and they're not centered. Big oops! So....they can cut the ceiling, move them, drywall and spackle again (and we'd have to repaint) OR we can move the island over. Joe measured and the electrician is off by 2.5 inches. So we'd have to move the island 2.5 inches closer to the stove. It leaves us with a 16 inch walk way, instead of 18.5 inches. So we're going to have them do that. We really don't want to repaint the ceiling. It would mean covering everything and a huge mess. So the electrician gets off easy...this time.
