Here are some photos of the under-cabinet lights Matt installed in the kitchen...I love em!


Cado system and kitchen updates

After months of searching, we finally found a Cado system. I kept getting outbid on the systems I found on Ebay and so I looked to Craigslist. I searched Phoenix craiglist to no avail. Then I decided to go through every city listed on Craigslist. I went through Flagstaff-nothing! Then I got to Tucson...GOLDMINE!!!!! Listed in Sierra Vista for $500 was a teak Cado system. We got to the house after driving for 3 hours and the system had paint all over it and one of the shelves had been cut in half, which meant it wouldn't work with the system anymore. So I pretended to cry and made a pounty face to Matt. And the seller said, "Make me an offer." I looked over the system and told her I'd take it for $400. Out the door with a system needing work, we drove home, sanded the poles and Matt installed it. We still need a few more shelves or something decorative to put in the middle of the unit....
Here is a view of the Cado upclose.

The living room is starting to feel more like I hoped it would. Comfy and pulled together.

Our new 6' long teak coffee table we got on Ebay.

Updated kitchen photo...we took the microwave and the misc. appliances off the counter, to show off the backplash and new under-cabinet lighting.
