After the holiday, all plastered

Merry Christmas everyone!

So we just got back from our trip and found the kitchen fully plastered.  Gone is the dark gray drywall and now we have a shiny coat of white all over the room.  It’s so much bigger and brighter now.

Supposedly there was going to be a first coat of paint applied on Friday, but we can’t tell if that happened.  I’ll have to ask George in the morning.  I’m hoping we can move straight into cabinet installation to get some of them out of our useful spaces.  Plus, I really want to see what the cabinets look like in the room.

On to the pictures:

White, white, and more white

If there were a coat of paint applied, it would have been only a white primer that in some places is still shiny like plaster.  Still, I’m hoping that we can see some cabinet progress tomorrow as originally planned.

After the long drive back, we placed a Dining In order from Jose’s in Cambridge.  I had never eaten there before but their enchiladas were very good.  I guess they’re over on Sherman Street, kind of far from everywhere we usually go.  That’s why Dining In is the best thing ever.

One cat-related note before ending: while we were away, we confined Ruskin and Clyde to the bedroom with their litterbox, food, and water so that there was no chance of them getting downstairs while work was going on in the kitchen.  When we got home, the bedroom smelled awful and they had covered every conceivable surface with fur and litter.  Not unexpected I suppose, but totally gross.  I’m off to close the windows now that we’ve had a chance to air out the entire upstairs.  There’s just no good solution for what to do with them during this project.
