Another Kitchen Update

Since our lives have been taken over by the kitchen for the past month, that is pretty much all I have to talk about or even think about lately. I as well as Emma spend what little free time we have in the morning and evenings working on the kitchen. But it has really come a long way for just one month of work.

This past week we have been working on a few details that need to be done as well as installing the gas range, sink and faucet. The faucet ended up not working out after I installed it. The design or my lack of patients made the install all that more difficult. To make a long crazy bad day of a story short, we took most of one day installing the faucet to find out the next morning that the head of it leaked. Wasn't our fault since it came pre-built but we took it as a sign of things to come and decided to get another type from Ikea. It went in perfectly with no troubles so that was nice.

The range went in with millimeters to spare which was nice for a change. We joke around that most of everything that we have worked on we have had to "modify" but luckily it has all worked out.

Also installed the molding around the new window that was installed a while ago. Put it off since we were unsure of the exact dimensions of the cabinets around the window.

The final steps are some trim molding for the top of the backslash, molding above the cabinets, finish filler pieces next to the stove and wall cabinet, and the final painting after marking the walls while working. We also have our refrigerator coming on Sunday so that is exciting!! Hopefully by this weekend it will be COMPLETE!!!!

Here are some more recent pictures. The last picture is a composite of 3 pictures in one. It captures the highlights and dark areas to combine and make everything stand out.
