The date has been set - we are moving to our acreage on March 6th!! I have some more pictures for you today, also. I found this out this past Friday, and realized that I only have 2 weeks to pack. Remember that Procrastination story??? Well, I still haven't started packing...hehehe. Any way, on to the pictures.
Here is my kitchen with my granite counter tops - Black Pearl I think ?? They are so shiny, but do not show fingerprints, at all!! That is so awesome with 2 little boys running around. I also have a black granite sink, and I LOVE it. I had one in the house previous to this, and it never showed water spots, so I knew I would have it again. It is a little messy since the electricians were there finishing up. 
And here is my craft room!! It is a celery color, since this room is in the basement. I wanted it to be a bright room, since most of my classes are in the evening, and it will reflect the light more than a darker color. The painters and the cleaning lady should be done at the end of this week, so I can start setting it all up. I will post some pictures of the final result, and maybe you can come STAMP WITH ME!!
Wonderful new galley! Your new creative space will be fabulous! Enjoy! Deb

Julie - congrats! Love the kitchen! I rent so I'm soooo jealous! I love those huge cabinets! Mine are so small... and although the kitchen is big there's not much storage at all! Can't wait to see the finished craft room! Better start packing - no more procrastination!!!! :o)
