Furnishing the Future

This weekend Skandinavia had a sale so we went to check things out. We were just looking and did not expect to find anything, we really don’t have a place to put anything until the house is finished. Of course this did not stop us from purchasing a few items.

The first thing we found was a new coffee table by Becker Design. We both really liked how open the table is. Hopefully it will not be too hard to keep clean but I fully expect paw prints and innocent cat looks. If anyone says it looks like a star trek emblem when they come to our house (which we did not notice until later) we plan on taking you out.

We also purchased the end table but in the darker wood which is shown on the first piece. The best part is the pieces are totally green! They are made from recycled glass, steel and the wood they is from rubber trees that could not produce rubber anymore.

Onto the house pix! We know you have been waiting with baited breath. We did not get many pix this time because the house interior was in the process of being painted. The white walls were everywhere and it reminded me of a sanitarium. The rubber walls will be installed next week. The interesting thing is that the cabinets got installed. We snapped a few quick pix for your viewing pleasure.

Here is a pic of the kitchen cabinets. The fridge and pantry will be at the right. It not much to see but we could not get a pic of the whole area since they were painting at the time.

This is what the master bathroom cabinets look like. Notice all the drawers to store all those female necessities of life. Opposite of these are my cabinets which have three draws which is good enough for me.

The house is really coming together. It looks different with all the walls up and painted. The search for a couch and window treatments is driving us crazy (hence the need for rubber walls). Hopefully we will have that done by the time we move in.
