Kitchen Aid, Part 6

Belly up to the bar.

Our kitchen is finished (mostly)!

The counter, sink, dishwasher and stove were installed on Thursday. On Friday some molding and other finishing touches were taken care of.

We still need to paint those finishing touches, and we still need to get some stools for our bar between the kitchen and dining room. But otherwise, everything is all done.

Kris was very excited to actually cook food in our own kitchen for the first time in about three weeks!

We're thrilled with how it turned out. We still haven't come off our "new kitchen high." We will often stand in the middle of the room to marvel at it and say we can't believe it's our kitchen. Nolan loves passing things (plates, drinks, etc.) across the bar. He says it's just like a restaurant.

I think we're done with big home improvement projects for a while (although we are going to have the living room floor refinished in a few weeks). 2005 was the year of the basement and kitchen. Next year we think we'll enclose our back patio.


The kitchen is komplete!
