Busy weekend

We tried to review/approve the quartz slab for our counter tops yesterday - drove 20 miles (each way) to Schiller Park (southeast of O'Hare) only to find that the slab won't be delivered for yet another week. It was not a pleasant drive - 294 is under construction. 'nuf said.

Bob painted the inside of the pantry with primer yesterday. Today (Sunday) he is painting it in semi-glass Butte Rock to match the kitchen walls. He's doing this under protest. His color preference was glossy white, like before. "It'll be too dark in there" says Bob. "But", says I, "we're having a light installed in the pantry. I want some color in there!". We went back and forth, but my sweetie is (even as I type) painting the pantry Butte Rock. UNDER. PROTEST. Check his face in the picture...

I did promise him that, if it was too dark and I hated it - that I would be the one to repaint it white. (Somewhat of an empty promise. For various reasons, I don't think I would be able to do it. So let's hope we're ok with the color.)
