Kitchen Renovation Days 4 & 5

While I was in St. Louis for work this week, our carpentry work was finished.  It's beginning to look like a totally different kitchen.  They've done a good job blending our existing cabinet boxes with the new pieces.
 

Here are a few more views.  The area above the stove turned out nice.  It will look even nicer once the new microwave is installed.


I love our sink area.  Can you see the nice little ledge built in the back?   Our trash drawer still needs to be cut to fit the trashcan, but you get the idea.  We also have a mock drawer under the sink that will hold the scrubbies and such.





These are our granite choices and hardware.  We already chose which granite we like best, but I think I might keep it as a surprise until it's installed. 

 
Our faucet and microwave were delivered this week as well.  The faucet is heavy!  I think it weighs nearly 7 pounds. 
 

Next week the granite will be installed and everything will be painted.  I think the paint process will take several days since they have to use a special primer on the existing laminate cabinet boxes.

Have I mentioned that I'm looking forward to having this all done?  I'm looking forward to having a sink again, and cooking and eating at home, and not having to deal with scheduling, and not having guys track in and out of our house all day.  Oh, and I'm looking foward to having a much nicer kitchen as well.
