we met with our kitchen designer, tom johnson today and we are getting much closer. i think that we have narrowed down the cabinet choices and we in theory picked out the solid surfaces; just waiting on quotes.we are so thrilled that tom can help us. he really understands how we want to try and use as many sustainable products as we can. also we just love his designs. milo vineyards is amazingly beautiful but what i really love is the feeling he has created there; very easy and welcoming.

i am whirling between extreme excitement and utter anxiety.
