More Finishing Touches

We were busy this weekend, we were able to put more finishing touches in the kitchen and still be out enjoying some Spring weather! This week Shawn installed the track lighting in the kitchen area. WOW, did that make a lot of light. We loved it. Area's that were dark with the work lights up are now bright. I saw areas to clean, that is for sure.

Shawn had to wait until Saturday to install the ceiling fan above the table area. He had to get back up in the attic to do a little work on the box up there for the fan. He did so and then installed the fan. We really like it. It is quiet when it runs. A neat feature is you can have two of the lights on or all four. We didn't know that until we started pulling on the chain. See what playing with new toys gets you??!

Saturday morning we also installed the back splashes that go on the counter tops. This really helped finish the look of the counter. They went in with little trouble, thank goodness!! Plus, Will cooperated and let me help. Hooray! After they finished drying, I was able to put things on the counter tops as I wanted them. Yesterday I even went to Target and finished getting a few items, bread box, canisters, paper towel holder. It's coming together nicely!!

Happy Birthday to me! This is an early birthday present. My parents bought this for me and Shawn put it together on Sunday and then I filled it up. This is my pantry. It really is a nice piece of furniture and we both really liked it. It has more room inside than I anticipated, so glad. Plus, I get to enjoy it a week early!!!

This is a picture of how the back splashes came out. Love it!!!

The next steps toward completion of the project is to tile the bar and figure out what we are doing for a bar top, find bar stools and then trim around the door, window, baseboard and cabinet foot boards. We really just love our "new" space!!!
