kitchen remodel - day thirty

In the home stretch now... these pictures were taken after the countertops were installed. So, you can see all the cabinets, the paint, the lighting, the appliances, and the pass-through. Still to do (including but not limited to):

  1. Get the darn dishwasher replaced (came with a conveniently located hole in the bottom of the tub for easy leaking onto brand new hardwood floors)
  2. Put the pulls on the drawers (nimble fingers prying edges only lasts for so long before it's just annoying!)
  3. Complete the crown moulding on the tops of the cabinets
  4. Touch up... Touch up... Touch up...
  5. Replace the moulding under the window (which we had to rip out during the counter installation)
  6. BACKSPLASH (all in caps because this will be a BIG job... and, funny story: the tile we ordered is out of stock and they have to wait for a shipment from Brazil in mid-April... ok, maybe not a funny story, just a story)
  7. Get the silverware drawer installed (our "guy" at Lowes blames the "system" for not ordering this when everything else got ordered)
  8. Install the breakfast nook overhead light
  9. Get a table for the breakfast nook
  10. Oh, I'm sure there are lots more to-be-dones, but I'll stop here and show some pics of what it's all looking like now...

BEAUTIFUL! I love the double ovens and that flat stove top on the counter. Very nice! Did you order your appliances from Lowes? We ordered ours there. My refridgerator came with a nice huge gash in the side, the brand new oven didn't work at all and kept beeping and the dishwasher was delivered but couldn't be installed until a week later. It took about 2 months to get a new fridge and over delivered. Will never order big items from Lowes again. Anyway, the kitchen looks great!!! Way to go!! How hard is it to install a light? I need one over my bar area...interested??? lol.
