You Know the Painting is Done When You See The Wallplates

We finished sanding the ceiling and walls this morning and I rolled paint on the ceiling and Amanda did all the walls, including the spots that will soon be covered by the cabinets, which are scheduled to arrive on Monday.  After the walls dried, I re-installed the switch plates and the vertical blinds for the door.  Here's how the kitchen looked at the end of the day.
 

Sharron and I started installing the baseboard and trimmed the bottom of the basement door and associated frame in preparation for the flooring, which we will start installing on Saturday.  The contractor who restored our house after last year's storm damage left us an oak bullnose (surplus from the stairway installation) that we cut to size for the top of the basement stairs.  We installed a spacer board for support at the same height as the kitchen sub-floor.  Here's how it will look when we install the Bruce flooring.

After we finish the baseboard installation, we will finally get to start nailing the Bruce flooring down.  Not a minute too soon, since the new refrigerator and dishwasher will arrive on Tuesday.
