Kitchen Fever

Jim did a lot of work on my kitchen this past weekend. We have the base cabinets in place and the countertop is set. Our new black stove comes on Friday.
We had a bit of a set back when the new countertop was installed. Seems the base cabinet under the sink area is smaller than the former and our large stainless steel sink did not fit. We found another tonight that we like so tomorrow we install the new sink and faucet. After that the doors will go on the base cabinets, then handles and then I can put everything back. We will also need to replace the cabinet we installed over the stove because the new over-the-range microwave needs more space. Thank goodness for the IKEA rail system because we only need to detach from the rail and put up the new.

I also have to finish the tiles on the kitchen floor and decide on a wall color. Next a new kitchen exterior door and there's a black dishwasher that caught my eye. This will hold us until spring when we are going to take it all down, refinish the walls and put a window over the sink. We discovered that there had been one there years ago (more than 20) and we will have to open the hole on the inside and cut through the siding on the outside. Ya gotta love old houses! So much to do but we're doing our best!
