Better late than never...the kitchen

Well, the kitchen was finished about 2 months ago- but only now am I finally getting around to posting the before & after pictures. Overall, I love it- especially the layout. With each detail however I could nit-pick. Things didn't exactly go smoothly- for example the granite counter top got cracked by the cabinet installer (long story I don't even want to talk about anymore- will only say do not use Canac Kitchens). Thank goodness the granite guys were fabulous!

But here's the before & after...

I tried to keep the brand new fridge free of clutter, but that lasted less than a week.

The choice of flooring was my challenge- I wanted the look of tile without the hardness of tile. So, I decided in laminate & I love it. Although, I do have heart palpitations about what we will do when/if we want to replace it...but that will be years from now, right???

Obviously in between the before & after there was this...

Our dining area functioned as our kitchen & dining room for well over a month.

Living without a kitchen sink was HELL!
You really don't realize what a luxury a sink can be.
