Kitchen Bars

Here is a couple of pics of one of the kitchen bars viewed from the living room. They are still under construction, but at least you can get an idea what they will look like. At least we can use them now, well.... until the granite guys take back one of the tops (see post below) to fix the corners (sigh).

Can you spot the boo boo?

After closer inspection of our granite bar tops I noticed that the corners on one bar were a different radius than the corners of the other bar. Since they are right next to each other, this was deemed a problem to be fixed. Soooo, we're hoping that the granite guys can take back one of the bar tops, fix the corners, and bring it back to us. Just so you can see that I'm not being picky, I've posted the pics of them so you can see for yourself. What would you do?

Countertops installed! (well....,almost)

Our countertops were installed this morning, well....almost. The island and the desk area are still incomplet because not all of the granite was in the right hue. So, we wait a little longer. Here's a couple of pics of the contertops that made it. (More to come later)

Flooring is in!

Okay, I finally have a floor. For the record cork is absolutely wonderful. It's warm, and comfortable underfoot and easy to clean (once you figure out what to clean it with). It is a dark color though (Burl Coffee), so.....though stunning, my swiffer and I have become best friends (sad, I know). So, here's a few pics of the floor.
You can also see (in the above pic) the present construction of our built in nook. The benches are built, and are currently being upholstered. We still don't have a kitchen table though. We may either buld or buy one depending on what will be the best fit and bang for the buck.
