Here's a quick update of the projects so far. In this picture you can see the floors completed in the family room, and also see the fireplace face. We think it's pretty cool, but have to pick out a mantel still. We also have to have the baseboards done. I was planning on doing that myself, but am running out of time.
Here's a picture of the kitchen. It's almost done. The appliances are in. Dave (Jen's brother) came by this weekend to help with the floors. We got about half of the kitchen done on Saturday. I finished them up Sunday, Monday, and today. I am SORE. You'll also notice the backsplash. It's glass. You may or may not notice the dishwasher. I switched out the black front panel for the stainless one. That was pretty fun except for the cut I got on my knee while doing it. I ended up bleeding all over my shorts, but not on the floor, so that's nice. Oh, you might also notice there's only one panel on the back of the island. That's because the cabinet guys are coming out to install some corbels (to support the granite). They'll be here Monday. The electrician is coming out Saturday to install some lights over the island, and I'm installing some grey outlets and stainless covers to wrap it all up.
The cabinet guys were out here about a week ago to do the butler's pantry cabinets. The electrician needs to do a bit still here, and we're waiting for the handles to come in, but we think it looks great. We're thinking that we might stain the wooden panels in the refrigerators the same color as the cabinets. The backsplash is being installed tomorrow.The biggest news is that we have the floors in the main living areas done, so we don't have to walk around in slippers anymore. It's so nice.
