A Usable Kitchen

Kitchen Before and After

Right after I returned from the Seattle the granite counter tops were installed. Within a couple of days I had installed the disposer and plumbed the drain. Once I got the granite sealed the kitchen was suddenly usable!

I moved a bunch of the food back in, and the day before Carol and the girls came home I moved the table and chairs back in. After several months eating in the living room, we could live in the kitchen again. Very nice.

There are still a bunch of tasks left to do: install the backsplash tile (just ordered) and trim the window, door, toe kick and ceiling and install the over-the-range microwave. But I feel like I've already dedicated too much of this year's good weather to the kitchen so I'm taking the rest of the summer off from the kitchen and I'll get to those tasks in the fall.

We are loving our new kitchen.
