With the fog rolling in, on a creepy all hallows eve, the kitchen from hell was officially given life!!
The single-bowl big-ass sink my wife has been waiting for. (notice the large cookie tray sitting flat in the bottom) Someone give me a greasy, burnt-to-a-crisp-stuck-on-foot pot to soak please.....
Warm and inviting was the feeling we were going for, and even though it's not quite complete, I really think we achieved our goal.
And the other side view.... The center island was a compromise between what we wanted and what we could afford. We are planning on extending the top out so we can add a couple of barstools to this side to create a place for people to casually visit while the cook is on the job.
We still have the last bit of counter to do, along with a back-splash mural that my wife is planning on doing and some strategic lighting. (under-counter and some track lights)
Storage, storage and more storage.... the wife is ecstatic.
There is even spots for the earlier pictured cookie trays, and some for some reason some lazy lady named Susan came in and stuck weird looking wire shelves in the corner cabinets.
This is the movable center island with even MORE storage space. If my wife ever says "I don't have anywhere to store this pot", we're getting a divorce.
We still have quite a bit left that we want to do, (mostly aesthetic details) but as of October 31, 2007, we officially have a functioning kitchen back. Only took us 3 hellish months.
