the kitchen chronicles – Part 7



Yup – I’m still working …
Alright.  Time for another update.  It really feels like forever since I’ve started this project, but working full time while renovating does not make for a quick makeover.
So here is the work in progress. The cupboard doors are going up, the counter has arrived and the new faucet and kitchen sink has been installed.  It’s really starting to shape up.
Here is a quick comparison -  The drawers on the left are the old plywood version and the cupboard doors on the right are the new improved version. The kick plate still has to be installed as well as the backsplash and light valance.

It’s really hard to make something look so pretty when the wall behind is so ugly !

  2. Nice nice counter top! I understand about how slow things seem to go while working full-time. I was just speaking about that with a friend today. If you think about it, YOU really have accomplished a lot!!!

  3. I have those tall taps and can't count the number of times I've been thankful I bought those! Mine are also the burnished bronze and they are so cool!

  4. the cabinet doors look great up. I also like the faucet you chose for your sink. Looks great.
    Wow, didn't realize you work full time. I think you have gotten tons done for someone with a full schedule already.
    P.S.
