Today the island was built as well as the remainder of the planning center. The countertop will have a curved (half-moon) shape on the back which will rest upon the turned legs so that it appears more as a piece of furniture.
The planning center's middle cabinet is lined with saffron beadboard, which is not really visible in the picture. We are eager to see the countertops in place!
Although the appliances were delivered today, all but the refrigerator sit in the garage. Here is the refrigerator in the new "white ice" line. It's a highly polished white with sleek stainless handles and trim. Note how the center lines of the cabinets do not line-up with the refrigerator doors and, of course, there is no way to avoid that. That's going to bother me a bit...
Our talented kitchen designer provided us a calendar with everything mapped out and, to date, it has been quite accurate. Everything has happened when we expected. As anticipated, the kitchen is at a standstill until Monday, the 20th. The kitchen guys return that day to finish trim work and then we are hopeful that the countertops come a few days later. In the meantime, we have another ten days of no stove, microwave or dishwasher! We admit to being weary from going downstairs for pantry items, upstairs for kitchen tools and digging through boxes everywhere. I am tired of washing dishes in a pan in the guest bath and rinsing produce in the bathroom sink. The other day, Randy asked why we had a potato sitting on the bathroom counter. Doesn't everyone? :) The kitchen table remains in the great room and we still have cereal boxes, bread, dogfood and other daily staples on the hearth! I think it will all be worth it, though!
