These pictures show the new floor as well as everything else that's been done. We finished the under-cabinet lighting about six weeks or so ago. Still have to do the backsplash and get the new fridge.
The under-cabinet lighting has LED lights that are much brighter and much cooler. I use these lights early in the morning when feeding the cats their breakfast and at night, when I don't need a lot of other light. The electrician also installed a dimmer switch. The light switch is for the above-cabinet lighting.
This is my main work area where I do most of my prep work for dinner and for baking. The mixer is Big Red, my Kitchen Aid.
The microwave area....we need a new microwave, too. From all the moving, plugging in and unplugging, the read-out is shot. It still works, though, so replacing it is on our to-do list, but isn't an emergency. See the sun tunnel? Oh, and new ceiling light; it matches the light at the sink window now.
The stove area.....to see the floor. We really like the floor.
Another view of the floor....
Granite countertop --Patagonia -- and I have never regretted my choice....you can see the under-cabinet LED lights reflected in the granite.
The sink area....and my window! Love my window! (I know, you've heard this all before) The China cabinet is there at the dishwasher.
The sink and the faucet. It's a Blanco sink in black, which goes well with the countertops. The faucet is a Moen with a dishsoap dispenser. I will never go back to two sinks. Never. I can fit a turkey roaster in this sink. I can fit cookie sheets in this sink.
My spice cabinets. These are "vintage" Three Mountaineer cabinets. My mother helped me get the first one with S & H green stamps back during the very early 70s....it was 24-3/4 books. The lighter one is the newer one that I got from Ebay a few years ago.
Made my own labels for this set.
These are supposed to be hand-painted bottles. I don't know that they really are, although they do look like they are. Doesn't matter....I like them anyway. I also have spices stored in one of the cabinets in the kitchen area....we use a lot of spices and herbs.
These was taken on a rather dark, dreary day....but I can still see very well. Love those sun tunnels.
The table area with the spice cabinets, the hutch, the cats' litter box and, of course, our Mollipop.
We did not install a new dishwasher or a new stove; those appliances aren't that old. Our fridge is almost 20 years old, though. The new fridge will likely be a Samsung French door type. Still looking at backsplash.
Thanks for looking!
