Kitchen Progress

We've got our cabinets mostly re-installed to the new configuration. We have two on the backside of the island that still need bases, but we're getting to those next. Ignore the old countertop and sink/faucet-- we decided it will be a few weeks before we have countertops, so something is better than nothing. I actually have a semi-functioning kitchen now! Although, the old faucet is leaking, so I'm trying to use it as little as possible. Thank goodness for a tiny bar sink downstairs! I'm going to try to never take for granted being able to wash dishes in a kitchen sink, or not having to run up and down the stairs for every little thing in order to cook a meal...
This is the latest on our layout:

Everything is still a total mess, but it is coming together bit-by-bit. We just got some quotes for a large window in the wall in front of the island. I can't wait for that! It will let in so much light! In my world, you can never have too many windows or too much light...

We're also trying to source some granite or quartzite for our island. I think we've narrowed it down to two options.

Luke is still going to have to get in the attic a couple more times to finish the electrical work, but for the most part, the utilities are finished. And as soon as we make a final choice for the stone, I can get started painting all the cabinets. I really like our cabinets, but with the floors that we are putting in, and the other finishes, the maple wood is turning very pinky-orange. Not going to work. So, I see weeks of painting in my future...Fun, fun...
