Day 2 – Electrical
Today when we came home, the changes were less obvious than day 1, but still evident. The electrician started doing his magic. He removed the old fuse box above the door and put in a circuit breaker panel. We also saw a bunch of holes in the walls and ceiling where he had threaded some wiring. Overall it looks like a lot got done again today. Our GC said that the electrician is going to take another day and then the tile guys would be in to tile the floor. Very exciting!!
This is where the stove was. There is a new cut-out in the subway tiling for a new outlet. Yay for getting things up to code!
See some of the holes in the ceiling. And now we have two outlets next to each other. I guess the older one will get covered up.
This is the corner the sink goes in. We were surprised at the water damage in the walls. Something is going to have to be done about that. Thank goodness we’ve kept it in our minds that things will go wrong! You can see the back of the panel there as well.
Here is the front of the panel in our hallway. We’re going to have to get some artwork or something to put over it. Notice the difference natural light makes!?! These pics were all taken within a few minutes of each other, but our hallway has absolutely no natural light.

Love those cabinet shelves! They look like a great space saver. I’ll have to look into those.
You have so many great solutions!! I’m RUNNING to Bed Bath and Beyond for the plastic bag holder–ours are just free under the sink!!
Anne – it really is great and not to $$ either!
I’m pretty sure you’ve talked about them before but can you please tell us where you got those neat spice bottles for your sugars? I LOVE them!!!
Shadow – They are part of Pottery Barn’s Daily System. The post coming tomorrow will actually go through how we made the shelf and include a link to the spice jars themselves.
the spice jars are so cool!! Can’t wait to see more about them 🙂 I love how vibrant all the colors are!
Great organizing! I’m always trying to figure out how I’m going to fit all my stuff in my kitchen. Thanks for the tips! BTW love those spice jars…so cute!
I’ll add my admiration of the spice jars as well – what a great way to keep them dry and organized while adding color to your kitchen!
Thanks for the info about the spice jars! They’re actually $10 off right now too, so you get 15 jars for $19!!!
…I might have bought two sets… 🙂
Can’t wait to see how you guys set up your shelf.
Great ideas! I also love the plastic bag holder among other items. Looking forward to the post on the spice containers.
Hopefully Hubby doesn’t hear the price went down so much. He about had a heart attack when I told him I was spending $120 on spice jars!
How is the towel made so it can hung by a loop?
I love love loooove what you’ve done with your kitchen. It’s so functional and looks fantastic. I’m definitely stealing some of your ideas and incorporating them into my kitchen. Thanks!
jenshowme – this is the paper towel holder. It’s a bar that gets attached on one side and has an arm sticking out that the paper towel goes onto.
Use tiered cosmetic cases!
They’re absolutely great. You can compartmentalize your things easily everything stays together. =)
