Views Kitchen redesign
This is a shot of the kitchen area with the island and MDF cabinetry. It's taken a bit but I am beginning to appreciate the look of the unfinished MDF. The question is, how good will they look when finally assembled? I worry about hinges tearing out and the excessive weight. I'm going up to check the work site this weekend along with doing some research for a painting I am working on.

Views Low Rates
It sure would be an excellent time to be closing on a loan with the rates hovering around 5%. I'm not missing the payment though—positive I'll look back at these rates with some longing later on but for now I'm like the rest of the country, sitting on my thumbs. Business is not quite as bad as I thought it might be. Maybe it will get worse but I'm an optimist. This view is in the shop looking toward the courtyard early AM with all the shadows.
