My dining room is still thanking me for banishing the awful neo-victorian fan/light combo that had been lurking there when I bought the house.Miss Jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15707110699580712919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045222285852116740.post-35406590250033151432009-11-23T12:08:36.701-05:002009-11-23T12:08:36.701-05:00Hey Baz,<br /><br />Re: Vague shade of suck...I&#39;ve seen that color before but never knew what it was called. I&#39;ll be sure to steer clear of it at Home Depot. Love your design aesthetic. I&#39;ll be back to watch your remodel progress.<br /><br />Best,<br /><br />Lucy at The Old House Web<br />www.oldhouseweb.comoldhousewebhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00060989476124976591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045222285852116740.post-74586782830975079242009-10-29T20:02:16.565-04:002009-10-29T20:02:16.565-04:00Ultimate slacker, Baz checking-in for comment responding. <br /><br />Chris; Totally dig the notion of those non-gutters. Have you used them? Personal review, please. <br /><br />Natalie; The Sputnik is actually our neighbor&#39;s. Just helped with the install. They procured at Z Gallerie. They can constantly be found on Ebay as well. <br /><br />Pocket door wasn&#39;t too bad. Most big box home stores have a pocket door frame kit. <br /><br />The cabinets shown are our neighbor&#39;s. Would love to see pics of your cabinets before offering my opinion on an approach. Will check Chadwell Chronicles for pics. <br /><br />Capree; Thanks for the comment love. We&#39;re totally digging the Poulsen as well. Wish you were our neighbor.<br /><br />LH; Thanks. Was a crazy notion I busted out way-to-early on a Saturday morning. Now need to bring it to life in a permanent place. <br /><br />Haley; No worries. We spent the better part of the summer slug&#39;n. <br /><br />John &amp; Diane; You both rock. You had me laughing again about the vague shade of suck description. Some of my finest writing. <br /><br />Your project fascinates me. Keep it coming. <br /><br />Borrowed Abode; Painted shapes will come to life. Now we need to find you your own Mid Century Modern...<br /><br />_________<br /><br />Cheers to you all. Thanks for all the great comments and for sharing this journey with us. <br /><br />-BazBaz Mcmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09877651904127387550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045222285852116740.post-36824573283190458742009-10-28T10:34:51.699-04:002009-10-28T10:34:51.699-04:00Great progress - you have such a huge project on your hands! Seeing how things are coming along makes me yearn for a mid-century place to call my own...<br /><br />Love, love the painted shapes on the wall. Think that would be awesome to incorporate in your designs.theborrowedabodehttp://theborrowedabode.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045222285852116740.post-38960351819351859492009-10-24T11:13:47.311-04:002009-10-24T11:13:47.311-04:00Pocket door area looks terrific, good work! And I had to laugh about your description of the color of your siding. I hate the color of our siding too. I lovingly refer to it as Honky Flesh color. We had one wall to repaint after the remodel(outside wall that was basically taken out when they replaced the big sliding glass doors) and we just painted it with some of the new taupe color and I like it so much better. Looks good with the green concrete of the patio floor. Some day we&#39;ll get around to repainting the whole house but I guess that&#39;s low priority at this point.<br />To Natalie- I have a different sputnik light I got from lamparts on ebay. He makes different styles. Great guy to deal with, highly recommend.<br />-DJohn and Dianehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16073963959723677654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045222285852116740.post-12368820991599674662009-10-23T13:16:26.355-04:002009-10-23T13:16:26.355-04:00You have been busy.

You got a ton done and you even found time to help your neighbors! Why aren&#39;t there people like you in my neighborhood? :) That Poulsen light is looking mighty fine, by the way. Can&#39;t wait to see more - keep it up!Capreehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13376111608951379686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045222285852116740.post-59177314641596543902009-10-23T09:32:12.938-04:002009-10-23T09:32:12.938-04:00Ohhhh! I am liking the sputnik light a lot. Where did you find it? And we are going to putting in a pocket door, too. Did you do it yourself? I am too nervous to try something like that myself.<br /><br />Are those your original kitchen cabinets? I ask, because ours our original and wood. I have been thinking about painting them, but then I think about restaining them. There are some pictures on our blog from a few months back.<br /><br />Congrats on getting a lot done. It&#39;s a great feeling!Natalie at Chadwell Chonicleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12608961716877055927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045222285852116740.post-58826441291838556392009-10-23T09:16:34.021-04:002009-10-23T09:16:34.021-04:00Looking great Baz.
