Anyway, just wanting to give a quick update on the kitchen. The counters were installed this week. I went with the granite. I was looking at getting quartz, but there were issues with one of the slabs being slightly faded. So, I just went with my first choice of granite, white diamond. I'm loving it.
We have the undermounted, double bowl, stainless steel sink and I will actually have a garbage disposal now. I've got my knobs and handles and need to deal with them today.
This is the counter by the fridge. It used to house the sink, as we previously did not have an island. Now I have tons of prep space that I did not have before.
The stove/oven is staying in the same place. Unfortunately/fortunately, we are getting rid of our old stove. It was an old beast, but had two ovens...which I LOVE. I will now have an updated stove, but didn't get one with a double oven. I guess, not everyone uses them as much as I do.
Here is a not so good close up of the granite. I'll take better pictures later. You see Blasen is working on plumbing today. We need to put in the baseboards them appliances can go back in. And that will pretty much be it. We need to touch-up paint and put up door frames and trim in the built-in.
This is the built-in that used to be L shaped, but we sized it down. We scraped it and repainted it. I cleaned up all the old copper hardware and need to put it all back together. The upper doors are getting glass inserts. We went with a black granite for it. I really like how it looks.
I just had to add this picture that I came across when I was looking for kitchen pictures. Isla's just so darn cute. This was a the Christmas breakfast.Lots of pictures to look at. Must run...time is tight around here.

Looks like a whole different room!!! Love the granite, the island with the sinks..love it all! Glad it is all coming together before Christmas. And I think I bought that shirt for Isla?? SK has one just like it she wore this week. And it's weird how pictures of clothes (like that red vest you're wearing) bring back memories. Cute picture.
Everything in your kitchen looks amazing together! All your impressive results with renovations make me wish we weren't renting. And, yes, Isla is gorgeous in that picture, but so are you!
Sara,
The kitchen looks SO good! I love how all the colors flow so well. From the ceilings to the cabinets and countertops - it all looks amazing!!!
I love your choices; it looks really beautiful. I can't wait to see the finished project!
looks great guys! so does Blasen just know how to do all this stuff? We'll eventually be remodeling our kitchen and bathrooms and I just love your cabinets/granite.
So how much has this saved you on doing the work yourself?
I just love it! I can't wait to come see it! So nice and fancy! And of course both you and Isla are so gorgeous! We are really excited for the Holidays!
Kim, we've saved a ton doing it ourselves. It can be a nightmare at times, but worth it in the end. thankfully, blasen is very willing to learn how to do anything. He'll try anything on his own first. I'm glad it's over.
