How much do I love that our main granite guy showed up in a tie and scarf today?!:
We love the new counters! And the new floor. ♥ ♥
So at the end of week 5, the cabinets are 90% done, the floors are done, the counters are done, and all electrical drops have been put in. It is getting so exciting! Still to be done: backsplashes, appliances and related pieces like range hood/garbage disposal/faucet/etc., electrical hook-up and trim, finish lighting (including pendants), cabinet trim and final adjustments, painting.
The new island is HUGE. I asked Ro to stand near it for perspective. Can’t wait for the first party to use every inch of it.
PS: The bar cabinets near the window were temporarily taken out for the granite install. The floors are large Café Light travertine tiles set on the diagonal with 1/16 grout lines.

So, when's the kitchen party? It is perfect for cocktails and food. Yippee!
ReplyDeleteYou have AMAZING taste, and patience!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYour island is the size of the kitchen in my one bedroom apartment. LOL.
I want to come up and see it in person! Must plan a visit soon.
Yes, yes!!!!! Anytime, sweetheart.
DeleteBreathtaking!!!
ReplyDeleteWow!!!! So pretty!
ReplyDeleteWOO HOO!!! It looks beautiful!!! Congrats on the progress...almost done!
ReplyDeleteLooking very spiffy.....that island is huge! Don't you love big floor tile on the diagonal. That's what we did & every time I walk in the room I like it even more.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely breathtaking!!! Looks gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHmmm...looks like it's just begging for some watermelon stars to celebrate!!
how much longer before the work is done?
ReplyDeleteLove it
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful! You know, I never would have thought about setting tile on a 45 degree diagonal, but a pro recommended it for our bathroom makeover, and we really love it.
ReplyDeleteWhoa! That's a BIG island! I think its the same size as our kitchen. You will definitely have plenty of room for parties and baking projects :)
ReplyDeleteI have a huge master bathroom floor I'm about to do in travertine on the diagonal too. What did they tell you was the best thing to clean it with? It will have to be washed a lot because of where it is. I'm going to do a zero grout line with epoxy grout. It's more expensive, but it doesn't discolor and get dirty like regular grout. Beautiful job! My cousin in Willow Glen has the same granite and loves it.
ReplyDeleteThey didn't tell us anything brand-specific, just said to get travertine cleaner, not to use any regular kitchen cleaners. That epoxy grout sounds awesome!! Send me a pic when it's done.
DeleteNow, that my idea of an island paradise . . .
ReplyDeleteAs long as you are replacing a toilet, may I recommend a "Whisper-Close" seat?
Cute main granite guy and scarf!
We did -- I got this crazy European style toilet (Ariel Hermes) and the lid is so funky. You just nudge it downward and it creeps slowly down (takes a little while).
DeleteBreathtaking.You lucky duck!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteYour kitchen looks absolutely amazing!
