I had a costume , a Kimono which was purchased for the upcoming annual neighborhood Halloween party , so after securing my date here below  Lisa,  we set off to have a good time at the taping yesterday , boy did we get a lot of funny looks . I loved this years theme , I won't spoil it , you'll have to watch on the 31st like I will .<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdJcqilqElUlpmfrOJVHAjd97Hnb1OLdh8br0deFK_MEa7hTkyLUsikI0ZwS9IlpUCBGDbKPXKxDvNwgOuZB2DbGH9Fv2PA3mXSOOEv-eSu7EYRcR_AJrDqkbS1uXY6157DhKBj6c3XOE/s1600/photo11.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdJcqilqElUlpmfrOJVHAjd97Hnb1OLdh8br0deFK_MEa7hTkyLUsikI0ZwS9IlpUCBGDbKPXKxDvNwgOuZB2DbGH9Fv2PA3mXSOOEv-eSu7EYRcR_AJrDqkbS1uXY6157DhKBj6c3XOE/s320/photo11.JPG" width="239" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioQDL2nXRpuHtzwTP_bi44tdMdzDZJ9VqRGCI3_-ziXX6_K39w0v3I11QigcR5RhTTHUbM0gA8VxPx757MMEqBxetZlTcjqSz1y_LQy-6IJPBi5jZ9VJOdTzfXQleD70xi6kjGxe1OvHA/s1600/dscn2620.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioQDL2nXRpuHtzwTP_bi44tdMdzDZJ9VqRGCI3_-ziXX6_K39w0v3I11QigcR5RhTTHUbM0gA8VxPx757MMEqBxetZlTcjqSz1y_LQy-6IJPBi5jZ9VJOdTzfXQleD70xi6kjGxe1OvHA/s320/dscn2620.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> This was the gift the audience was given a cup and saucer, I'm using it right now in fact , how cute , a saucer you can write messages on , love it .<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtpd-X6CukCZPw1hjlg3Meb5nLno2n2Cq3RW7EMPl6mDhNPCu7ppTRrvmS8NosKYL0HTnbD6QuZ-KWMhsxHmjxR4VZ6ZAW25F7o8Kkb6hOq8PlyQt_0GmcoHldHaS5n0eRZe49iXzmoTs/s1600/dscn2621.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtpd-X6CukCZPw1hjlg3Meb5nLno2n2Cq3RW7EMPl6mDhNPCu7ppTRrvmS8NosKYL0HTnbD6QuZ-KWMhsxHmjxR4VZ6ZAW25F7o8Kkb6hOq8PlyQt_0GmcoHldHaS5n0eRZe49iXzmoTs/s320/dscn2621.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> I have finalized our kitchen design, I will have to finish the bulkhead with crown moulding in this area as well I will build the end open shelf for books ,it will be balanced in real life , I promise , I will also build the range hood , or go with a professional style stainless hood , not settled on that decision quite yet. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpmWO9_I0YmMdvKDRQetEgux8ctKl0eSdIhat0h0VbEgBY4G_5fZQpAARrKvz0pMB9zFco5eRyCdeGd1ntRC4GOhfnMD9fVSMeCv4RWew-dQoqSjNyWWwjVTdBA-KINZkt8HQunVlWcOg/s1600/dscn2622.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpmWO9_I0YmMdvKDRQetEgux8ctKl0eSdIhat0h0VbEgBY4G_5fZQpAARrKvz0pMB9zFco5eRyCdeGd1ntRC4GOhfnMD9fVSMeCv4RWew-dQoqSjNyWWwjVTdBA-KINZkt8HQunVlWcOg/s320/dscn2622.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> This is how the window wall will look, no cabinets at all on this wall to leave it open and airy , tile all the way to the ceiling and open shelving for pretty things. I did make a little mistake on this drawing  the bank of drawers is actually one drawer with a door underneath , this kitchen will have 8 drawers including the pot drawers , I think that was money well spent , I will be so organized , I am doubling the amount I currently have .<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrSkboUmD3oM4iZzdmOAkiGY8OWogwXtbD0jtFFH7yN2fgga3ACWFnEzhNSlYQI1I8-buQEO6dOdhgvvBh3YNh0Mxv4IVrKVSPwPvAEA8s5E4BMvshFDtD2Zp1CLSafYnAFYCMKoQyhUU/s1600/dscn2623.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrSkboUmD3oM4iZzdmOAkiGY8OWogwXtbD0jtFFH7yN2fgga3ACWFnEzhNSlYQI1I8-buQEO6dOdhgvvBh3YNh0Mxv4IVrKVSPwPvAEA8s5E4BMvshFDtD2Zp1CLSafYnAFYCMKoQyhUU/s320/dscn2623.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>We worked on a lovely plan for the fridge wall , this will have the look of a hutch and buffet , I have extended the bead board down to the counter , I may do a wood counter here with a routered edge just to go along with that furniture look , and it will be painted a different shade than the rest of the kitchen.<br /><br />So exciting , can you tell I am dying to get this show on the road???<br /><br />We have been so busy putting the house on the market privately , now this is in no way easy or free , it is all on us , but we do believe it is doable , when you have a good product it is worth a try to sell it for ourselves , don't be intimidated by an owner selling , they know their house best and can represent it better than anyone , I love to show my house , I love this place and I think it shows. But we'll see , I think things would move more quickly using an agent of course but we have time. It is getting noticed , lots of hits from our area as well as the greater Toronto area, so that is good news , that is what we are looking for , someone to love this place as much as we have and to make it their own , after all we will kind of still be neighbors right!<br /><br />Looking so forward to watching Sarah Richardson's new show airing tonight where they take a builder home and customize it , kinds like I'm doing , should be fun .....tuning in tonight on HGTV Canada at 8:30 and setting my PVR of course.

This woman needs a real maternity leave , which is 6 months to a year here in Canada.<br /><div></div>
