A working weekend...

Well, this weekend we locked ourselves in (a little tooo tightly - sorry Grandma & Grandpa R). And we worked worked worked! We have ALL the cabinets installed, the granite has been fixed - thanks to Granite Design of IL, the door pulls are all installed and I have about 80% of the kitchen stuff put away. The refrigerator was delivered and the old one taken away. We had a plumber in this morning and he installed the dishdrawer, faucet, drain, and fridge ice/water line. I need to do some modification so I can add a pull-out self... but we're doing really well! Here are some pictures of our progress!!

Running water!

genius dishwasher/dish placement - put dishes away without straining myself!

the island - Almost!

Lighted front glass front cabinets for my beautiful crystal and barware

Cabinets with pulls and all installed! - we're adding a door over the microwave (above the dishwasher)

Cabinet doors open - with food and such inside!

End of island - we're ordering panels to cover this area (expansion for stove hood) the panels will be the same as the cabinets from Scherr's
