    You cannot obsessorize too much, believe me. Hundreds of light fixtures? Yep, been there.

    your door knob is very very cool. I wish your photos weren’t so fuzzy. I think I see the Art Deco lines. Your kitchen light looks a little bit like a what’s called a schoolhouse light. Nice. I currently hate our kitchen light that is new and was one of the several I was forced to buy too quickly without being able to obsess over light fixtures. I’m going to replace it with a vintage schoolhouse light.

    The cat door is just the cutest thing!

    I'm sorry my pics look fuzzy. Here's a link to a doorknob set that is the same backplate as mine, but my knobs are just smooth, round polished nickel. I had purchased them from Rejuvenation, long before they got bought out by Williams-Sonoma.

    I don't think it's a schoolhouse light. I think it's a standard-issue 1950s light preferred by those who did not obsessorize, lol. It can be easily found today, so I guess we aren't the only ones who like it. A close-to-the-ceiling flush mount is also a must in our house, and limits the options somewhat.

    I'm sure my searches and obsessions would be a lot less extensive if not for the convenience of the internet. I can't imagine going to dozens and dozens of stores to look at hundreds of items. This is just another way in which the internet is a mixed blessing, I suppose.

    I said to DH that for all the expense and selections involved in this remodel, it's the $40 cat door that will be the star of the show!

    We're just waiting on the range hood installation, backsplash, and some finishing carpentry touches. Can you believe the transformation? DH and I just cannot believe this is our kitchen now. Raymond had sniffed the faucet thoroughly and I believe it was deemed acceptable.

    It is a lovely transformation!

    Your black countertop looks like mine. Mine is a black granite with large white streaks.
