This time it's really almost done.

So for my second almost done posting, this time it's almost done, really it is. Other than what color to paint a wall or window treatments and of course the post to the island has to be painted, but thats 4 coats of primer and then 2 coats of top coat to make it really really smooth. It's been a long haul.... but fun cooking when friends come over, I cook they bring the wine.

Oh I still love this kitchen - you have done a fantastic job.

Quick question - how / where did you get the outlet centre from the counter? that is really interesting....please do tell.

thanks

Re: This time it's really almost done.

Thank you all for your kind words..... you can all come over and cook up a storm. The outlet is from a company called Mockett. Baseboards are the same aluminum stock that is in between the cover panes on the island. I sanded the aluminum with 150 grit sandpaper to give it a brushed look, sort of stainless look. Lets see what can we cook? Beef Bourguignon, ah... beef stew while it's still a bit cool?
