There is still some work to be done, mainly some touchup paint and a couple lighting issues related to broken pendant and a back ordered chandelier but we have begun the long task of reclaiming our home. Crimson and I spent the weekend moving furniture and repopulating the kitchen. It's amazing just how long this process takes.
Before we did this I took a bunch of pictures. My original plan was to create side by sides with the original pre-work photos but technical difficulties and the amount of time involved prevented that. Instead I present you with a large collection of the final look. Hopefully within a week I'll have ones with the furniture installed too. Unfortunately, it is in a rough state again as they do some more paint.
The pendant in the foreground is not working but should be fixed soon.
Ignore the ugly bare bulb. Apparently the chandelier is on backorder so this is my wonderful temporary light.
A good look at the cabinet layout and hardware. I have a ton of storage now.
My touch faucet. For a few moments I thought this might be a mistake but I find myself using it ALL the time. Anytime my hands are wet, I simply use my forearm to turn it on an off. At first it was a little touchy and only Crimson the master with it. After an adjustment it works perfect.
I was concerned about the loss of above counter storage and a place to put the microwave. This was the solution to both. Plus, I was able to keep most my original pantry by rotating it.
The new bathroom. No more hideous wallpaper!
The are a lot of fancy pullouts in the cabinets including this pantry storage.
Two tiered silverware drawer.
Pull out trash and baking sheet drawers
The hood still needs a little finishing around the top but it is finally level.
I'll be glad when it is truly all complete. It's still a little weird having to clean the workspace everyday so they can continue working.
I have to say the pictures really don't do things justice. It looks great. Now that the hardwoods are exposed and the furniture in the room, all the "folksy gold" trim has been toned down enough so it all looks really good.
