So close to almost done!

Painted walls, yes, pink. I think it works great with the cupboards and the wallpaper.

Clean countertops for a minute at least. Ty made it fit together just perfect!
We still need to make or fix a door for this corner cabinet, which is a hold over from the old kitchen but was the best choice to make that corner work and not cost too much.  I just painted the inside white so that it would be lighter and easier to see into.  I'll probably keep produce in there.

The sink was only out for a day and a half, which is a marvel, I know.  
I'm telling you, my hubby is amazing!  We did find out there is great potential for losing fingers when lowering the new sink into place, though, so be careful next time you try that.  
No worries, we avoided that problem, though narrowly.

The blue rectangles are sticky notes listing the contents of each drawer and cupboard, until we all get used to the new configuration of things in our new kitchen.  

I just have to say how grateful I am that this project has been able to be completed now and how happy I am to have a sensible and well-designed kitchen.  I never thought it would be done by now.  I didn't think it would even be possible for another three or four years, but here it is practically finished! 
The Lord certainly has blessed us and I'm so thankful!

The front room got a little bit of facelift, as well.  We've painted the south wall a light bamboo green and we are very thrilled with the effect it's having on the entire feel of our home.
