So when I left off two weeks ago, our new floors had just been covered up to project them, which is great, but we miss seeing them! Week 7 felt a little ho-hum, not that nothing got done, but it just didn't feel as impressive as other steps. The whole area was painted, and cabinet toe-kicks and molding were installed, so at least the space was looking more finished.
Week 8 though, saw some major improvements! Our quartz countertops were installed!
As was our sink.
Then over the next three days, the full-height ceramic tile backsplash went in. Note that an accent tile went behind where the cook top and hood will eventually be.
All the tile was 12" x 24", and I really like how it was installed vertically.
I had fun helping pick out the grout, and once that was done, it looked so good.
Between the counters and the backsplash, it really feels like were close to a finish. Sure, we still need lighting, appliances, and a final coat on the floors, but considering how far we've come, it seems like the end is fairly near.
Whoohoo! I'd say "progress is progress". Every thing ticked off is awesome and one step closer. Though I bet you want it done - yesterday. It is mesmerizing to read how different the project timeline is from what I know... though I live in a rented apartment. I will go ask around how homeowners experience it here. xo
ReplyDeleteIt looks so good!! And quartz countertops are an excellent choice.
ReplyDeleteIt's looking fantastic! I hope the finishing touches come together in quick order now.
ReplyDeleteso close to done! all of it is so beautiful
ReplyDeleteOh that countertop and sink are gorgeous! I'd love to have one large sink like that. Washing pots and pans would sure be easier. The tile behind the cooktop is perfect too. Based on the colors you've selected, the whole room will look light and bright. I'm sure you can't wait for it to be finished.
ReplyDeleteYour kitchen is coming along so beautifully, although I'm sure you are ready for the finish! Give it a bit more time...a good way to do that is to hang out in your sewing room. The sink is probably going to be your favorite upgrade. Family life is much easier with a huge sink.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary! I have been sewing quite a bit, so that's been great. I'm really looking forward to that big sink!
DeleteThe countertops are very pretty and go nicely with the cabinets. You are so close to being done! How fun it will be to move everything back into the cabinets and cook that first meal! Having it done before the holidays will be great.
