A little kitchen update

I was just showing the kitchen to a friend using the blog and realized just how much more we have accomplished since I last made an update. It is crazy how fast things change without realizing it or I just need to pay attention to this blog more. Maybe I will make myself a little reminder once every couple days to write a new post, we'll see how long that lasts.

We have tile, a few new drawer fronts and doors, a functioning sink(!), installed dishwasher and trash compactor and a fun chalkboard.

Geoff and I laid the tile with help from my brother and father. SO much easier than I ever expected.


We are incredibly happy with how the tile turned out. The picture below is just after we finished grouting so there is a bit of haze going on there, but what a difference. We are so happy with our decision to lay the tile in that direction, it makes the room fell bigger.


Here is  our awesome sink and faucet, we lover the single basin!


I was able to install all the baseboards, and on the right I started building the shelf.


Dishwasher and Trash compacter are installed.


Still have tons left but we will get there one day!  ;-)
