Kinda like Christmas

Can you guess what these are?
































That's right--the kitchen cabinets! They even came early! It's been about 10 days since they arrived, and they're all moved inside (a good thing since we've had one freakishly unusual Summer thunderstorm!), unwrapped, and are about 70% installed! M and her dad whipped that much out in one day. Wow. I love them. I can't wait to unpack all that crap stuff that's still in my mom's garage (3+years now--oh the shame!) and see what to keep, what stays, and to get it all organized!

We took the day off (from all construction/home improvement projects) Sunday and went to Alameda to the big monthly flea market there. So fun. Found a couple things (a depression glass pitcher--a good buy) and a small retro light fixture (maybe for the laundry room?). But the score of the day came later, in Oakland where we went to a crazy antique store (a house with several outbuildings that makes you feel like you're peering into a hoarders stash). We got two bargain dressers that we'll turn into vanities for the master bathroom. We've been searching for something new that would work and had pretty much struck out on anything affordable. I'll post before pix another day so that we can see how they look now and then what they'll look like later. It was a fun (but exhausting) day.
