Finally an update!!
I can't believe two months have passed since I last updated!! We went on vacation for three of those weeks, and the other weeks...well, I was just too darn busy to fit some computer time in. :)
SO.....how far along is the remodel now you ask??? Well...it's almost done!
The first week in May (before we left for vacation), the granite was installed. It is beautiful! I just dearly love the Cranbury Brown granite we chose and Marble and Granite Works did a wonderful job on the install. A few days after the granite was installed, Nancy Kennedy came and installed the natural stone backsplash. The tiles were a bit darker than the samples we looked at originally, yet we knew ahead of time that the natural stone tiles can vary greatly....so we are still very pleased with the outcome. I think it adds alot of warmth to the kitchen and it looks awesome with the granite and the undercabinet lighting.
Two days before we left for vacation, we chose our floor stain color and our paint colors for the rest of the house, and we decided on what kind of faux finish we wanted throughout the kitchen and family room. The kitchen was basically done (except we were waiting on parts for my cooktop/downdraft), with little odds and ends that needed finished like end panels put on after painting and such. We thought by the end of vacation, the house would be completed......it wasn't....and I'll explain everything that happened in the next installment.... :)
