Another quiet day. Waiting on the floor to acclimate. It's engineered flooring, so it doesn't need weeks to adjust like full hardwood flooring does. But best to give it a little time. And concrete is who knows when. Depends on weather and their schedule. The house seems lonely.
But we're busy! On top of getting our current home ready to sell and preparing to move, we're doing other things. Like figuring out a possible library ladder for the study. Ordering sheds to store things until we can build a shop. Planning the fence for the backyard. Breathing a sigh of relief that our kitchen backsplash tile matches the new countertops so well. Ordering a tool to make plugs for the mantel holes because I don't trust anyone else to do it. ;) And taking a moment to admire how the mantel is seated in the stone.

The Study built-ins are still in progress. There will be stained wood shiplap in the nook wall. And hopefully a library ladder. Even though it's going to stick out in front of the window, I can't let go of my library ladder dream.

The builder thinks I won't notice the holes once it's stained. If we were staining it really dark, I'd agree. But we're not, so I want to plug them. And I don't trust someone else to care about matching the grain, so I'm doing it myself.

It was a gamble but I think the backsplash tile looks great with the counters. Relief!

It's pretty.
