Doors, doors, doors

Deciding to stay put in our little house has been such a good thing for us. We are no longer house hunting and instead are putting all of our energy into making this our “home”. We are putting down real roots for the first time in years. It feels really good.

This weekend, N finished the wiring/outlet/switch replacements and put on all the covers in the kitchen. Here is a picture of the new switches and outlet near the sink. Also, he installed my under-counter radio/cd player that I got for X-mas two years ago. Now I can listen to my beloved NPR while cooking.

Additionally, he installed our fancy, energy efficient (*ahem* $400) dog door. We put it in the old back door so that the animals can go in and out while we are in Kansas City. We have a house/dog sitter who will handle the feedings, but this ensures we will not come home to a house full of dog whiz.

Notice the scratches on the door and trim. Bad dogs!

Since we have an energy efficient dog door, I said we should probably go get a more energy efficient door to put it in. So today, N ordered a new door for the front and back of the house. The backdoor will have a large window above and the dog door below. For the front door we ordered a plain, smooth door and we will order a cool window kit from Crestview Doors. Time to dress up our little mid-century modern ranch!
