Thick oak in the kitchen and Heart Pine elsewhere. I really like my wood floors better than any other matterial. The newer wood floors that are laminated will not tolerate minor water leaks as solid wood can. Laminate flooring will not tolerate any standing water without mushrooming and rippling. Something to think about. I do like your red paint. If you don't have a lot of counter space to replace, granite would be stunning. There are as you will see, many options to explore. If you go directly to the manufacturer you can save money. Enjoy the process.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08953124220818985910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-65303150594353442462008-11-01T23:46:00.000-04:002008-11-01T23:46:00.000-04:00Wow!

BUT,...Bonnie, Love what you are doing to the house! BUT, if I may offer a bit of advice as someone who makes her,(Yes I said her),living installing and refinishing hardwood floors, Please rethink your wish of having them in your kitchen. They are a real nightmare in kitchens and baths. sinks, refrigerators with water lines, and dishwashers are guaranteed to leak somewhere down the line and really do a number on the floor. The steam from a not perfectly sealed dishwasher will washboard a floor in a matter of days. Just food for thought before you invest the hard earned $ down the road.Sandiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07185606467030155781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-45747563722891866122008-10-31T19:29:00.000-04:002008-10-31T19:29:00.000-04:00Hello Bonnie.....happy to see you are making progr...Hello Bonnie.....<BR/>happy to see you are making progress on your move-in as well as all the pictures of your travels...Oh, that sign.....my husband wants to know if you snatched that from our kitchen...heeheehee....he says that it is definitely true...<BR/>hugz<BR/>Pam....love the book...thanksAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10142448314863373752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-50157732940813673332008-10-31T11:36:00.000-04:002008-10-31T11:36:00.000-04:00After 25 years I need a whole new kitchen.

As for electrical peculiarities, there are two possibilities: All areas with water near electrical circuits have to have GFCI outlets, so they got cheap and put all of them on one circuit and used one outlet to trip/reset; or, have you ever seen a house wiring job in-process? There are wires EVERYWHERE. How they all get to the right spot is beyond me. <BR/><BR/>Wiring weirdness happens all the time, and it's my opinion that by the time the sheetrock is installed no one is willing to dig in there and fix it. My last house had two recessed ceiling fixtures above the fireplace wall: one wouldn't turn on, one wouldn't go off, and the switch didn't work anything. And I had no idea how to find and fix the problem, so we just took the bulbs out!The Calico Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01772374749065425388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-85817215298915983372008-10-31T07:50:00.000-04:002008-10-31T07:50:00.000-04:00You've made a LOT of progress with bringing your h...You've made a LOT of progress with bringing your house into the 21st century, the kitchen is looking great!Mrs. Goodneedlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07453388163219666450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-92145308989450056632008-10-31T01:31:00.000-04:002008-10-31T01:31:00.000-04:00Love the red wall and that kitchen sign is great!!...Love the red wall and that kitchen sign is great!!!!Red Geranium Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02439570019692400042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-41262193002498628972008-10-30T21:11:00.000-04:002008-10-30T21:11:00.000-04:00Bonnie, your house is looking terrific!

Took us a while to figure out why the Christmas lights went off one night. Now that little red bathroom button is the first thing we check for all outages! Maybe out houses were all built around the same time or maybe by the same builder. That would be funny. And about granite ... there is a granite guy in Kernersville who had the best price in the area. My neighbor and I went all over checking out the different surfaces and we ended up with the granite. It was well worth it and I love it! Took me a while but I no longer hover over the counter with a hot pan. I just put in down. Wonderful to be able to do that especially with cookie trays. There is also a place in Greensboro advertising sale prices on granite. Just thought you might be interested.
