Kitchen!

I think it's supposed to be done today. DUN DUN DUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today is two days longer than the original estimate, but I think they were largely eaten up with our glass subway tiles, which did not come on 1ft sheets, but had to be laid out separately. I am glad they took their time with it, because it looks so pretty I could weep.

We skimped on light/electrical fixtures, but they are easily replaceable in the future. Plus, I don't really care too much about how they look in general. We also skimped on floor tiles, but they look fine and as long as I can stand on top of them without puking due to ugliness, I don't care.

The stuff I DO care about, the stuff that I didn't think we'd be able to swing on our budget, all are awesome: the sink & faucet, the glass subway tiles, the granite counter. Yowza. We could easily have spent 2-3 times the amount we did on those things, but we were pretty insane about our comparison shopping around the Bay Area and on teh intarwebs.

I am so excited to see the kitchen today. I am bouncing around in my seat like a kid on sugar.
