Kitchen Renovation: Week 7 brings counters

They opened up the sheetrock partition today so they could start working on the various trim work for the room. If you remember, the original opening to the kitchen used to be much larger, but we shrunk the opening down a bit to accommodate more cabinets along the wall and to create an actual doorway.


I'm really liking the Caesarstone London Grey counters Marbella Kitchen and Bath installed today. I really love the look of marble, but I didn't want the hassle of maintaining natural stone since we're not the neatest bears and we like to eat colorful foods so we went with engineered quartz that looks a little marble-esque. The installation took about an hour and the kitchen felt like a clown car with about 8 of us hovering in and around the room and large slabs of counters being maneuvered around piles of equipment and appliances. 


I'm excited about the giant sink!

We opted to extend the counters to the wall in this corner to utilize the dead space. It doesn't look like much now, but I'm hoping to store our countertop appliances in this little nook so they're accessible, but out of the way. I'm calling it our appliance carport. 


Next up is figuring out wall paint color.
