It has been too long since I've written an update about our progress! I've been enjoying cooking in our kitchen for about six weeks or so. All of the details in these pictures were finished weeks ago. Nate also installed really nice under-cabinet lighting, but I haven't been able to take a good picture of that yet. (Admittedly, I haven't tried very hard.)
We still have lots of small details to take care of, but haven't made much progress lately. Between our jobs and other responsibilities, it's hard to find the time to work on it sometimes. We haven't chosen flooring yet, and Nate needs to crawl under the house to hook up the water to the fridge and then go in the attic to vent the exhaust fan. Then there's the touch-up painting and final details to finish up. Most of the crown molding is done, but we can't finish until Morgan brings us up a little more wood. There MIGHT have been a mis-cut or two when someone was getting near the end and very tired. =) Once it's done, I'll get some more pictures posted...of the whole kitchen. Some of the pictures make it hard to get the overall "feel" of the area.
Cooking our first meal in our new kitchen in early January. I hadn't been to the grocery store yet, so we had grilled cheese and tomato soup. Unfortunatlely , it was the last of the bread and I completely scorched the sandwiches. It hadn't occurred to me that I'd have to relearn how to cook thing on my new stove! =)
