We went to Fort Payne this weekend to pick out appliances for the kitchen. I think we got a pretty good deal at Gary's Warehouse: Frigidaire-brand microwave, range, dishwasher and refrigerator for around $2,100. The finish is called "stainless look." Gary was going to put together a scratch-and-dent package (dents are usually on the side, where you don't see them, or so minor they're not noticeable) of real stainless-steel appliances for about the same price, but they showed fingerprints so easily I decided against it. I don't want the appliances to be high maintenance while we're renting the cabin. I decided not to go with antique appliances for the same reason, although I think that would be nice at some point.

The kitchen cabinets have been set and so has one of the claw-foot tubs. I picked out lighting fixtures last week, and those should be in sometime soon.

The cabinets are painted a greenish-blue

(They were supposed to be more of an olive green,

but oh well. They still look nice) and have

a distressed finish.

You can't really tell in this picture, but the drawer pulls look antique.

The doors on the left lead to a pantry and downstairs.

The plumbing lines have been installed for this tub in the master bath.

Living room; the window on the left goes into the upstairs bedroom.

Flooring in the living room. We went with 3/4-inch

heart pine flooring from Lumber Liquidators

throughout the house. I wanted to use salvaged

wood flooring, but the cheapest I could find it was

$7 per square foot, which was way out of budget.

The fireplace surround will have a stone facing.

View out upstairs french doors.

These doors were installed last week.
