Renovation Progress

August 16, 2009 by Amy

  Scott had the weekend off and has been SO busy with the house.  He started Friday morning and really hasn’t stopped until about an hour ago.

He prepped the counter top Friday and Saturday had a coworker come over to install them. They worked all day on it.  I see now why people buy them preformed.  It is NOT for the faint of heart.

So Friday night the kitchen looked like this:

And then tonight….

I wish I would have featured that new sink and faucet better because I LOVE it.  It’s much deeper and then spout is much taller so it’s so much easier to use.  You can also see I moved my rug into the kitchen.  I have one more store I hope to find a rug in. After that, I’m buying the same rug.  I’ll just have the same rug in my dining room and kitchen.  I love it so no issue for me.

I think I need to add hardware to the doors.  It feels like they are empty now where it never bothered me before.  I don’t know everything just feel so brown.  Feels like it needs some contrasting colors in there or something.  We’re having a family friend install the tile backsplash this week I hope and then I’ll decide on the hardware after that. 

Also?  I found a color for the bathroom cabinet.  I wouldn’t call it perfect but it’ll do.  Much more dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate.  We also added hardware on the doors and changed the faucet as a last minute decision that I think is awesome.  I smile every time I see it.

I’m thinking I’ll be changing the other decor in the room but the floor and cabinet is all ready to shine!

So yeah, I feel like a lot of the big hurdles are over.

What’s coming up:

  • Tile kitchen backsplash
  • Kitchen hardware
  • Possibly rope lighting above the kitchen cabinets
  • Wiring of my bathroom lighting
  • Cutting/Installation of my mirror!!

    Amy,
    I think it all looks great. And yea, I think you may want to add some hardware to the kitchen cabinets, but it still looks great!

    I think it looks great and the rug in the kitchen really adds warmth. I agree that hardware on the cabinets would bring some life, but the backsplash will also add a lot of sparkle.

    For all curious,the rug is from Target. I just picked another one up last night. They have other sizes too.

    I love it! I love the faucet in the bathroom and the chocolate brown cabinets, and I bet the new kitchen sink is fantastic. Backsplash and hardware will be the perfect touch.

    […] Holy cow, look at my kitchen.  It’s not even grouted yet and I’m ecstatic.  Apparently it’s very hard to take a good picture of glass tile but I did what I could.  I can’t believe the difference. […]
