I just wanted to post a quick update of the progress on the kitchen! My husband Mike and his awesome coworker Tory spent the past two weekends working all hours finishing the cabinets – removing hinges, taping off areas, applying the sealer, sanding, top coating, more sanding, etc. It was QUITE the process but I am so proud of how the cabinets look. The finish is a lovely matte finish that is just perfect. Then yesterday, uncle Tom came back for the day to make sure all of the cabinets were straight and even. And this morning, the countertops are being installed! It’s been quite a few weeks and I’m so excited for this step!
Next, we’ll be putting the cabinet shelves in place, installing the kickplates, installing the sleek stainless handles, and the microwave and range hood for the island.
We finally chose our flooring as well, it’s an awesome mineral black birch. We got a great deal and it is very different looking – like nothing I’ve seen before. It is the sort of flooring that I think will look great installed and will also wear really well and won’t look bad with some knicks and scratches which are bound to happen. So, we’ll be ordering the flooring very soon and then finding an installer. We’re hoping that my uncle Chris is able to install for us, but if not we will be looking for an installer. Once we’ve installed the flooring, we can put the gas range, dishwasher, and fridge in place and actually start using the kitchen! In the meantime, I CAN’T WAIT to start unpacking boxes and putting stuff in those cabinets!
I’m going to wait to post pics of the kitchen until the counters are in, but for now here is a pic of the flooring that we have chosen.
