Kitchen progress over the past 4 months
Well things are moving a snails pace these days, but there is progress being made which I'm happy about. The cabinets were installed in January and the coutners came in February and I am totally in love with both! We were able to start using the kitchen to actually cook again as of February 12th and we haven't eaten out since :) We did go to our friend's house for pizza one night and my mom's for dinner another night, but other then that, every dinner has made at home!
Here's what the kitchen looks like as of now.
The Granite is New Ventian Gold with an antique finish. It has litte grooves and pits in the surface and doesn't ahve that high glossy shine like most granites and I freaking LOVE it! It has little specks of red (garnet maybe?) and pearly white spots like mother of pearl or something. So freaking cool!
The only seam in the granite is at the faucet and it shows up way more in this picture then it does in real life. And the offset faucet was a fabulous idea (Thanks to my husband) as it's directly over the drain when I want it to be but easily swings out of the way so I can access the entire sink when needed.
And the sink is nothing short of a Godsend. This thing can fit an entire meal's worth of prep, cooking and eating dishes inside and I still have room to wash and rinse all the dishes without having to drain the sink halfway through. The only reason I'm handwashing dishes right now is because the dishwasher isn't hooked up yet (the only appliance that we haven't used yet). The floor has to go in first, but that's not happening until the painting is done. Right now the tiles are sitting in boxes in the middle of the room just waiting to be laid out on the floor.
And the paint is in the living room just waiting to get on the walls
And the pendant light is sitting upstairs in its box just waiting to be hung
Soon my little friends...soon you will be where you belong :)

As far as details go, the cabinets are maple stained cinnamon, dovetailed drawers, all plywood construction by Blue Mountain Woodworking, Bath Pa. Kyle and Heather are really cool people and we really enjoyed working with them. The hardware came from them as well, although I don't know the manufacturer or names or anything. We also got the counters through their fabricator, The Marble Source. Kevin was also very nice to work with and did a really great job.
