A wise man named Costner once said, "If you build it, they will come." Once you prepare a space for something, of course, the natural next step is to actually put it there. We painted the walls to receive the cabinets and the cabinets came. Along with them, they brought counters, and drawers and doors. We had a little snafu with the end of the peninsula and we had to make a last minute design change. But that is what architects are supposed to be good at, problem-solving on the fly. Of course, one could argue that architects wouldn't make those mistakes in the first place, but this whole thing is afterall a learning experience. We also learned a bit about stair design. They put the railings and pickets up and we had to adjust things a bit. We won't tell you what we did differently, but you can judge for yourself if it works. Don't tell us if you don't think it did.Meanwhile back at the ranch, while workers were busily installing our cabinets and doors and stairs, Lura and I were in Dallas, Texas at the annual Mary Kay Seminar. What a great time! Yes, that is me talking. It was motivating and inspirational and we will be going again next year. Lura is growing two businesses at once and I am doing whatever I can to keep up and help out! Check her out at www.marykay.com/lgodfrey and check out these photos below (a couple of us in Dallas).
