Mantle part deux

GO GO GO. Kitchen/Living room almost done! For now!

Mantle, part 1

We've been busy little bees this winter break - painting the kitchen/living room twice (the first color was too blue, so the second time we just went for good ol' trusty white) and wall-mounting the tv.
It's not quite done yet, but it's close.

Kitchen Update 3.5: It's getting pretty cold

We're experimenting with keeping the heat set SUPER low -- I won't even say how low, just assume 5 degrees colder than what you would think is unbearably cold -- and spending most of our time in the kitchen/living with the fireplace cheerily burning away. So far, so good.

Wall a'coming DOWN

As planned, the wall between the living room and kitchen came down this weekend.

Windows galore

We got new windows! from Gorell! Triple-paned!
