progress...

Huge Progress this week- countertops were installed yesterday! i love love love them! here are a few pics of the new counters and some progress pics. We are SO CLOSE! The color on the cabinets is Sherwin Williams Origami White. I am so blessed to have a wonderful color expert friend. I think the color is a perfect match for our wall colors and countertops. Thanks Monie!

Far right- opening for range this is where we are gong to put the glass tile as well... Then to the left is the window seat and bank of drawers- perfect phone spot. Basically right where the bank of drawers is next to the window seat is where the wall at the edge of the kitchen used to be. under the white painted plastic flooring is our wood flooring. The entire house was wood flooring except for the kitchen so when we took out the walls we had the wood floors carried into the kitchen and all of the floors refinished. Can't wait to see them again!

finished countertops (kind of covered up) and cabinets
The hole in the cabinets is for our microwave and you can also see the spot for the fridge on the far left. The counter runs along where there used to be a wall (left). We took down both walls that divided the kitchen from the living room and added the column at the corner of the cabinets pictured here. These tall cabinets are actually large pull out pantry and spice drawers and there is a bookshelf at the end (by the column) for cookbooks.

finished counters- on the right is the spot for the fridge (you can also see the opening in the cabinets for the dishwasher) and on the left is the spot for the oven- gotta scrape that window!

window seat on the right with a bank of drawers. We are pretty sure that Frandog is going to think this is her new bed... again... the window needs to be scraped- all the plastic straight ahead is protection for our couches, fridge and armoire.

cabinets post paint... window got painted also :) I wish I would have taken pics of the demo'd kitchen- we took EVERYTHING OUT! It was gutted completely for about 1.5 months while we waited for the cabinet maker- apparently this is a very busy time, of course-

Hard to get good work around here...

sanding, sanding, sanding... what a process!
