Kitchen progress pics...

So to catch up a bit... The kitchen is almost done. The floor (in both the kitchen and utility room) are tiled and I think it came out awesome. The people doing the work really took the time to make all the cuts as perfect as they could... They truly cared about their work as if it was a piece of art... True craftsmen. As a result we didn't need to use any molding around the edges! Wow...








Putting the tile in on an angle like this was the designers call... But great call. Really adds to the look. The head tile guy thought of doing the 2" border strip - it's great working with people like that who build on each others ideas to do great stuff.




I've painted most of the walls chocolate brown, and done all he trim work... The cutout in the blue part above is because I had to run power from the right cabinets (for lights) over to the left one -- because the idiot GC who we fired didn't think we wanted lights everywhere... Sure, who wouldn't put in lights just in part of the kitchen and leave big pools of shadow in other parts. Of course thats what we wanted.

Now I've just got to patch and sand the wall over the stove and paint that... This coming week the backsplash tile goes in (which I'm super excited about) and then I can hang the hood and we're basically done... The lighting can happen whenever, really... I'll probably just do that part myself after the crib is finished.
