can't wait to read it!

we just ripped those cabinets out of our 55-year old home and relegated them to the basement. *shudder*

whoo! sending some st. louis love and luck your way, rachel! nice, cute apartment...i'm guessing u-city?

we installed the same brand of cork click-panels this summer. ours were a bleached cork so it's nearly-white looking. maybe more in between a light tan and off white. we sealed ours with 7 layer...

thanks, everyone, for all the nice comments! what a great surprise to see all our hard work on apartment therapy. being that we've just gotten out of construction phase, we've still got a lot of ...
