Kitchen Install complete

The kitchen install is largely complete save for the toe kicks which will go on after the floor is stained.
This is the worst part of the renovation- our finished kitchen is mocking us as we cannot use it quite yet. The counters need to go in and the floor stained. Then the appliances can be installed.

The cabinets are here

The day we have long awaited has finally arrived. Our kitchen cabinets have arrived on site.
The space has been primed, sanded and the ceiling painted. Our sink, cooktop and taps have been selected and are onsite (minus the tap which is on order).

Light at the end of the tunnel

Back to reality. A cottage escape (with a functioning kitchen)does wonders but also points out the bare reality of living in a space without a kitchen.
We do have progress, the floors are in and the fireplace surround is completed. Some of the taping of the drywall has begun. We are counting the days (14 to be exact) until the kitchen install. We cannot wait.
