Let there be light

Papa k had a brilliant idea to replace the solid office door with two half doors with windows. The natural light from the windows in the front can now come into the foyer. Love them!
 

Honey mustard, anyone?

The laundry room is in - and with just a a few bumped heads, crooked necks and stiff knees as casualties. And, in between groans were the paint debates. Is it honey mustard, pea soup or Benjamin Moore's meadow view? The verdict is still out ...

Our favorites

1. BEST TILE - Dedham, Ma.
We love Anne who owns Best Tile in Dedham. Great customer service and awesome title options. We especially like the smooth pebbles for the shower floor that Anne recommended - very spa like.

2. ANDERSON MCQUAID - Cambridge, Ma.
It was like a kid in a candy store. Papa k drooled over the hard woods and detailed molding options.

3. WHY WASTE WORLD? - Jamaica Plain, Ma.
Paul is great! He hauled away and recycled most of the demo material.

4. LOWE'S - Dedham, Ma.
The cabinet department at Lowe's is awesome. Bring your dimensions and they will help you design your room. And, the KraftMaid cabinets have so many size options, are real wood, have soft close drawers and tight "tongue and groove" corners.

5. RESTORATION HARDWARE - Needham, Ma.
Love their hardware, love their design ideas ... and did you know that if you order in the store you don't have to pay for shipping and it is shipped directly to your house? Very nice.
