Another "Sneak Peak" at the Kitchen!!

Are you all ready for this?  It is absolutely beautiful...I can hardly wait to start cooking in this awesome kitchen! The counter tops were installed today and they are fabulous!  The BIG ISLAND, as we call it, is the biggest island our fabricator has ever done!  The copper sink sits in the center and the counter flows over the top of it.  Do you see the posts at the edge where the bar stools will sit?  Aren't they cool?  Hal carved all them and added the upholstery nails so that it looks like all our doors from Mexico that have clavos in them.

All of the back counter tops are a chocolate brown, so beautiful, with lots of movement with darks, and reds and even some bits of white in it.  I am very very pleased with how it looks.  The stove top island, which is not done, will have the same dark chocolate granite counter top.

Now for some scary, exciting and stressful news!  Dina's house sold!!!  YIKES!!  Are you kidding me?  That means we have to be out of this house by November 16 because she has to be out of her house by the 20th!  I have a feeling a lot of our "stuff" is going to be staying right here in this house because we will not have enough of the house done to move everything.  We are going to really push hard to get things done, but some things are out of our hands....like the cabinets!  Hal is a one man shop and he is worth the wait and is working as hard as he can.  So it will be done when it is done.  I do think we will have the kitchen and at least the guest bedroom/bathroom done before we move.  And of course, MY CRAFT ROOM will be done, so I will be happy!!

I will keep you posted on our updates, hopefully we can pour a patio and front porch in two weeks!
