Cameron of Lethbridge super kitchen cabinetry fame has finished up for the week. There are still a couple things to do with the cabinets that need finishing off but that work is going to be completed back at his workshop so in the meantime Mandy and I get to sit around at home and gawk at our new kitchen without drooling in front of company. Which is nice. We dropped in a couple of not-yet-functional pieces you know to measure and stuff. Whom I kidding? Mandy and I wanted to imagine what it'll look like when we're completely done. So you'll notice the apron-fronted sink is resting in displace and our stove top is enjoying the feeling of its new home in our island as opposed to its old home in a box on our dining dwell floor for the last few months. That white cavity at the bottom left of the picture is for our new oven which should be hooked up by the end of business tomorrow and the hole to the left of the fridge is for the yet to be bought dishwasher. This should give you a positional idea of the island and also let you in on how much work there is still to be done i e the floor. The dark patch on the floorboards towards the Impossibly Small Bathroom is wet damage to a varying degree of severity. We've yet to open if we'll be fixing this up as best we can and polying over telling friends and family we did it intentionally for character or whether we're going to go to the hassle and expense of sourcing replacement salvaged boards. I wouldn't even know where to start with that in this city but wherever the start might be I'm sure the end will be at a big road sign saying "Expensive". Islandy goodness with shiny new handles and shiny new stove top. A better view of our apron-fronted sink. Yes it is an IKEA apron-fronted change posture. I am ashamed to say that no longer because for all the sins of Satan's favourite furniture supplier this change posture rocks. If this was a bad American movie and I was standing in a crowded room saying that someone in the room would start a slow clap and then stand up slowly off their chair causing someone else a few feet away to lay and stand and so and so forth. I might be seen to rest there proud and yes defiant with perchance a small tear at the command of my eye as I gaze firmly into my IKEA sink-ed future. But I digress. So as I mentioned we're nowhere near done. Cameron still has to install the wine rack above the fridge and there was a dress of plans mid-install when we decided (after Cameron's suggestion) to add a concealed pull out.
