Hangin' . . .

The art of hangin' . . . some are graceful at it, somethings look nice hanging. Dempsey and Saffron displayed a little of everything this weekend. Dempsey adjusting:


Saffron just getting the lay of the land in the new house:


We got another piece of the kitchen puzzle out of the way by hanging the pot rack. It enables us to tastefully display and store our rather complete selection of Calphalon cookware. Nice to see in selecting our cabinet color we matched it well to Calphalon grey.


The pets were nice enough to clean up their acts and make themselves a little cuter and a little more PG in their behavior. Dempsey, sacked out as usual:


Saffron took an immediate liking to the Scratch Lounge, but that could just be the catnip talking.


There is much more excitement in store this week. Deb moves to town on Wednesday, so long as she and my dad can make it across the plains without getting stuck in weather or without killing each other. For the house, we'll be putting more things away and in place. The basement is cleaning up nicely so we will be able to store the things that get used less regularly down there and be able to get to them when needed.

I templated the counter top for the butler pantry so hopefully early this week I will be able to make the form at work and if at all possible pour the top this weekend. All that leaves for the butler pantry is a little more paint and installing the new light fixture. After that, the room will be party-ready.

We also picked up supplies for changing the lighting in the kitchen. I am a touch nervous about cutting into the plaster for recessed cans, but the pot rack experience showed me that the plaster is in good shape and with all luck my ceiling won't crumble and fall down in large chunks. It is all coming along nicely though.
