Okay, well, the kitchen is still not done. I feel like mostly we don't notice because we can use it and we just get caught up in our day-to-day and other matters seem more pressing. There has been some progress, including the installation of our missing cabinet in the corner. You can see it in these first three pictures. We got our new crown moulding and some of it has gone up. Most of the trim in the dining room as been put up, too. We have had a few issues getting the trim carpenter here to finish up his part. If we can get him one more time then I think that part of the job can be done. We have decided to have our granite installors come back out to review the installation, too. We noticed a few flaws in the installation and just kind of shrugged our shoulders at it, but then our contractors said that they thought we should have them come out to see if improvements can be made. They are supposed to come out Monday evening.
Some of these photos feel like a spot-the-difference game, don't they?! In these last two photos the big change, if you didn't notice is that the woodwork has been stained. You can see some of the trim work in the dining room, too. We had our new pocket door installed this week- hooray! The pocket door is right off the entranceway, and it is very nice to be able to shut the kitchen off from the living areas of the house. I will have to include a photo in the next post. Sigh...I feel like I keep ending these posts with some sort of hopeful "we're almost there," and we really are almost there...except for the hundred details that still need to be done. My hope for this week is that: the trim work is completed, the backsplash goes up, pulls on the drawers/cupboards are attached and the beverage fridge is installed. As I said, we are pretty easy-going about the whole thing, but as we end month three, I think we are getting a bit project-worn.
