It’s been a few weeks and progress in the kitchen is still creeping along. I don’t actually expect us to be done until the end of August but considering we only work on it on the weekends while wrangling a toddler (several weekends of which have been busy with other obligations) and we’re doing everything ourselves, I think we’re doing pretty good. My plan for the rest of this week/weekend is to finish installing the tile, install the sink and faucet, and hopefully finish grouting the tile. We also still need to prime the ceiling but we’re both dragging our feet on that one.
Since my last post, we have finished installing the floors, finished all of the cabinet painting, installed the drawer hardware, finished removing all of the old crown molding, started installing new trim, painted the french doors, and installed all of the counters (minus the waterfalls).
Here is a sneak peek but I’ve been posting our progress on Instagram (mostly on Stories):
