Dreaming

Rub-a-dub-dub Paul is in the Tub, a day dream for now. I believe I have mentioned before this writing we play the "I'm looking forward to...." game. This photo is the perfect image of our game.
Paul is looking forward to a long soak in the big tub. He looks forward to enjoying the peaceful view and a long warm soak. What are you looking forward to.....2008?

Marvelous Granite

We were in town all day for our weekly shopping and many errands. First stop today was to Tunget Awning to select metal railing needed for the balcony. We had an idea of what we wanted and discussed them with Mr. Tunget. He was very helpful with size and proportion of railing for the balcony. The metal railing will be painted to match the color of the columns and stucco on the house.

We arrived back to the river just before dark and rushed over to the house to see the granite counter tops. With no lighting in the house I was worried we wouldn't be able to take pictures tonight. All the counter tops had been installed and they are marvelous! There was certainly a difference in the bathrooms and kitchen with counter tops on top of the cabinets. The color of the granite is called Verde Peacock. It looks black in the photo, but actually very dark green with gold flecks.

Granite and Tile

We left for Dallas early yesterday to select the granite pieces we need for the counter tops. We had a list of several wholesale companies we were directed to visit. We visited four different warehouses before locating the exact peacock-green granite we had in mind. These warehouses were all with in a few blocks of each other making travel easy for us. It was a long 12 hour trip, but worth the effort.

We were up early this morning to meet with the Kiser Carpet and Tile salesman. He was very patient and helpful directing us with all our needs. It feels good to have all this behind us.
