Sarah (a.k.a. "Mudder) gave the work a thorough inspection, envisioning herself in the kitchen once it's completed.
I have to say, as pleased as she was with the counterwork and the colour, she was more anxious to get home to see Stella, the dog. the sink looks great, as does the finish. We think the colour is enough of a different shade of grey to compliment the grey walls, brown ceiling and espresso-flooring.
We walked around the upstairs tonight and as we watched the snowflakes drifting downwards illuminated by the streetlight, we lamented not being upstairs right now, and, most likely, not in time for Christmas.
We had a terrif time in TO and I'll admit that knowing the mountain of work that awaits us, made it a little more difficult to come home. Still need to get an estimate for the railings and stairway, do the finishing work and tiling and then lay down that damn hardward flooring. (sigh)
Ah well, it's just what we need to do and, thinking back to the layout when we moved in, it looks a lot better and I know it will be capable of hosting many episodic dinner parties among friends and family and that makes it all worthwhile.
