Kitchen?...slowly starting to look like one!

Ok...so we last left off and I was telling you about finishing my beautiful kitchen! In December...we did all the demo in the kitchen, such as, removal of the countertops, cabinets, and old appliances. Before we did the demo we went to Home Depot... they now know my parents as Dr. Mc.Dreamy and Katie Couric (that's house Brock describes them to his buddies at the Depot!) At HD we sat down with a nice young man named Jackson who put together our whole entire order of countertops and NEW APPLIANCES! It took about 4 hours to get everything together... so we were looking good in the time department to get the kitchen finished so I could move in... WRONG!!!!

^ THIS GUY!

and his beautiful wife Teresa! :)

Brock... who is a very near and dear friend of our family... who is in the business of Restoration & Remodeling, told myself and my mom that if we expected to put new granite countertops into the kitchen that we would need to get brand new cabinets to go with it... so off to HD we went! (again!) We had to order new stock cabinets to match the granite and to make everything come together. We eventually chose the maple American Woodwork Cabinets (pictured below) and we were ready to go... WRONG!

After you order cabinets you need to wait for them to be built.. then shipped to HD...then shipped to the house.. then installed (exhausting process if you get my drift!) So we waited and were told that the cabinets would be in at about 4 weeks time, right after new years... WRONG AGAIN! They didn't get delivered to the house until about Jan 21st and were installed that weekend by Brock and my dad.

AND BELOW IS THE FINISHED PRODUCT!

HAHA... I WISH!

But anyways... the cabinets got delivered, countertops were getting measured, and appliances were going to be delivered as well. It was a long process.. a bout 1.5 months to complete the cabinets and 2 months for everything else to get in and semi put together... I chose to paint the kitchen STONED CORAL... NOT PINK! But stoned coral...to bring out some of the color in the granite! Looks great!

So here are a few pictures of the semi-finished product.. 

Until next time my friends... I will get a few better pictures! Cheers!
