New Appliances & Countertops!

The main focus now is getting the kitchen to a point where we can cook and clean up. The countertops were installed last week, but they didn't finish installing all the back splash and the breakfast bar yet, but you can get an idea of what they look like from a few pictures. We bought a new oven and dishwasher and picked them up yesterday. The oven is installed and in working condition. The dishwasher still needs to be hooked up.

New oven, perfect fit. Microwave will be installed above the oven.
Close-up of the counter top. Its called In-depth surfacing, like an acrylic material with the sink built into it.
View from the back door. New dishwasher. There will be back splash between the counter and the breakfast bar.
Microwave has been the only thing we can cook with. The refrigerator will go where the stool and bucket are. There are still 2 cabinets that aren't put back up here from when there was a leak in the pipes.

Dining room, starting to clean up and finish unpacking.

Matt putting the trim over the sink back up.

Matt the plumber
Floor between the kitchen and dining room. My Grandpa made custom transition pieces for us.
Put up a mirror in the bathroom. Not sure if I'll keep this one here, it used to be over our mantle in our apartment on Cleveburn.
New shower curtain from Grandma. New rug: Really ties the room together.
Bathroom has the toilet and vanity back in. Still not hooked up though.
Got a new curtain rod to put up curtains, but didn't get curtains yet, so these don't match. They are from our apartment too.

Hopefully Matt will be able to install the dishwasher and hook up the sink by the end of the week and we will have a working kitchen. I still have some painting to finish up, but the To Do List is getting shorter :)
