SO CLOSE AND YET SO FAR
When I left you last we had a delay in the kitchen project due to streaking and hazing in the honing.
We
had a professional marble finisher come out and look at our slabs and
he said he can re-hone it for us and eliminate the problem. Whew!!
To
say I was relieved is an understatement. This was my biggest concern
ever since they were installed. Luckily it is all fixable, but not
without yet another delay.
They
will be re-honed and sealed on the 25th. We are still unable to use our
kitchen since there is no sealer on the marble, but I am enjoying
looking at it!! I know that sounds funny, but I really do love looking
at it.
Since this project has taken three times longer than we anticipated I am going to show you pictures of what we have so far.
Yesterday I put my everyday dishes back in the upper cabinets……
I am pretty amazed at how much larger the kitchen looks to me.
I am enjoying how fresh and clean it all looks.
The kitchen actually sparkles with the new finishes.
I
am really looking forward to standing at my kitchen sink and doing
dishes again. There is something just wrong on so many levels about
doing dishes in the bathroom!
I think I am going to find it difficult to address this corner.
I am enjoying the clean look of nothing on my counters. Putting anything on them is going to be difficult for me.
I do have something in mind to put in the corner. It will be interesting to see how it all turns out.
Hopefully the next time you get a kitchen update you will be reading about me cooking and doing dishes in my new kitchen!!
