The finishing touch in the kitchen was finally installed. It's our old butcherblock that we've had for over 40 years. We think it might be about 130 years old by now.
It's really been around; it was obviously used in a butcher shop because of the wear pattern, then it went to our little 1926 bungalow, then our 1927 Tudor style house, then in storage for a long while, then in our re-creation of an English cottage, then out to a friends hangar, then finally here.
I've missed it and it certainly is nice to have it back again.
Hubby has made this cool drawer dividers for the knives
and the silverware.
And we built this decorative fence by the new driveway. We will plant roses in the fence and fill in with lavender and other perennials, and some herbs. One of our neighbors mentioned clipping rosemary from our plant at our old house across the street. She felt bereft when the new owners tore it out, so rosemary was the first thing I planted.
We've also finished the family room which will be our daughter's apartment. She chose this lovely green (Behr New Artichoke) for the walls and light gray tile that looks like wood grain for the floor.
