Kitchen Island


Here is a general pic showing the North West wall, which allows a view of the island. It is stained in charcoal, while the rest of the are stained in toffee. They are shaker maple cabinets in a salem solid door style. The door hardware is from Cantu Bathrooms & Hardware in Victoria.

The space planning for the kitchen was done by Inez Hanl from The Sky is the Limit. She did an absolutely amazing job of making a very creative and highly functional kitchen design. Thank you Inez!

New South Wall


Here is where we are working on the installation of the home office, which is not quite finished yet, but you get the idea.

New North Wall


Here you can see how the new sink turned out on the North wall. Yes it's a big sink, but a breeze to wash up in. The faucet is Dornbracht from Cantu Bathrooms & Hardware in Victoria.

Laundry Center on North Wall



Here you can see how we hid the laundry in the kitchen. I'm very pleased with how these cabinets turned out. The cabinets look like a built in pantry. Alas, it is only my laundry. But at least it's hidden!

You ca also see the new dishwasher which was just installed recently. (boy, and I glad to have that back) It's very roomy and sooo quiet! We can actually have a conversation while the dishwasher is running! :)

New West Wall


Okay, I've been busy and haven't updated since the cabinets went uo two weeks ago. Here is what we look like today. This picture shows the new cook wall on the west side (where the gross wall paper used to be). As you can see, we still have no countertops.....which, by the way, will be granite in Tropical Brown.
