New Counters!
The granite counters got installed yesterday. They are just gorgeous, so I thought I'd show some photos. No knitting here, so if that's what you came for, move along. Nothing to see here...


This is the fancy-schmancy sink we got for the powder room (with Randy, our contractor):



Looks heavy, boys!


Yes, I cringed a bit while they were cutting the opening for the cooktop. He did it without any noticeable finger protection, eye protection, or ear coverings. I'm not their mother, so I didn't say anything.





Last but not least, a glass of wine to celebrate:

Today is plumbing day. The sinks will be functional after today, and if all goes as planned, we'll have a dishwasher. Then all that will be left will be the tile backsplash and a few finishing details, and the glass doors on those cabinets in the dining room.
Just for a little comparison, here are some photos of what the kitchen used to look like.


Bye bye, ugly grey plastic!
