Kitchen: nearly done

[billeyler]

There are details to deal with: Install microwave, install backsplash, set in rope lights over cabinets, refinish heating register under sink, blah blah blah.

Here's the before and after:

October 16


January 2


Another view, including part of the dining room. (have to find new counter stools!)



We're working in the back of the house now, stumbling towards completion!

Looks great! I was staring at that first picture wondering why the sink wasn't under the window. I then saw that you had been wondering the same thing!

Apparently, everyone thinks that about the sink, although I had never really thought about it. That's the first thing that Marc the kitchen designer said. 48 years after the house was built, it's under the window! :-)

It looks absolutely beautiful.

You two are invited over for a cook-fest! We have a cabinet with martini fixin's!

Gorgeous! Congratulations. You'll have a big open house during A&C, right? :-)

[billeyler.livejournal.com]

Can do! ;-)

Now that the kitchen is finished, I'm hermetically sealing that area. There will be perspex viewing portals for those that would like to see it.

[billeyler.livejournal.com]

Pssst...you might have to explain that 'perspex' is Plexiglass!

[bendoutdoors.livejournal.com]

And which side of the seal will you be on? :-)

Very nice and very bright too.

[billeyler.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking the kitchen is a lot brighter than we are!

Your kitchen looks very nice now! Oh, I am so envious. ;-)

[billeyler.livejournal.com]

Don't be. I don't think I'd EVER go through this again. Sigh.

[billeyler.livejournal.com]

"Better for Resale" might be more appropriate! Thanks.

[meinfs.livejournal.com]

Wow. That's very nice!

[billeyler.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

Nicely done! Congratulations!

I just keep wondering what part of these pictures needed a parental advisory. Is it the seductive layout of the kitchen island or Bill and Danny hugging each other? It's really a toss up for causing juvenile delinquency.

Anyhoo, it all looks beautiful...I miss GAME NIGHTS!! Hugs to you both (and happy belated b-day!)...Mike B

Probably not much in our lives at our age needs parental advisory! ;-)
