It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like...





an ACTUAL KITCHEN! Everywhere we turn!

These pictures are a bit old, but pretty much sum up the situation with one exception- the cooktop has been installed. More on that in another post.

For now- this is pretty much what it will look like from this point on.

Notice that we now have the cool pendant lights installed over the island. oooooooo.

There are a few things which require annotation:

Orange Post-Its: no, we are NOT considering painting the cabinets: those are notes for the contractor of issues we have noticed. Most are simple hinge adjustments or problems with the drawer handles. They should be cleared up soon.

Trim: the big missing thing is trim around the windows/baseboards and that sort of thing. Again- in process.

Island: we have a problem on the island. The small veg sink is NOT the one we ordered- it's much smaller, so the faucet does not direct the water stream to the correct place. This is a real problem, and will necessitate re-cutting of the sink opening. This should be on tap soon.

So at this point with the exception of the oven (doors are waiting on parts) we have a fully functional kitchen! We even managed to pull off an Indian dinner for our friends Dave and Phoebe on Saturday night. That was so cool.

More pictures as we go forward, but we should be done with dramatic changes at this point.

Maybe.
