Done! (well, almost)

Finally...! The countertops are in, the appliances are in place, and we can go crazy with cooking. Now we are in the process of digging out boxes of kitchenware and washing them since everything is coated in dust. The only thing that is still being worked on are the two open shelves...they weren't supposed to be that short... But otherwise, everything looks great. LOTS of counterspace. Yay! 

Counter Stools

Since we'll have an eat in peninsula, we'll need some styling chairs. I just ordered two of these LEM Piston Stools in Stainless Steel. We tried them out at Design Within Reach over the weekend and they were pretty comfy. They'll arrive this Friday...so excited!

Handles & Hood

It's almost done...! The handles were put in today, the refrigerator is now in place, the hood has been installed. Oh, and all the lights work now too. So what's left? The countertops, some minor plumbing, and the open shelving.

Fireplace

It's been done for awhile now...but look! It's finished, and it doesn't look horrible! (For the longest time, I feared that we made a huge mistake. For some reason, picking out tiles was the most painful part of this remodel process). These are half inch mosaic stone tiles that came on sheets. Our original plan of mixing two different colored tiles didn't work out so well...so we went back and ordered more of this one.

Peninsula and Glass Doors

Happy New Year. We are back, and jetlagged, but that's okay because the kitchen is finally coming together. The frosted glass doors were installed today. The peninsula (eat-in bar) is yellow, with open shelving. The countertops were ordered yesterday, so stay tuned for more pix...
