The Kitchen is DONE

We finally wrapped up the kitchen project (99% anyway).  We are absolutely in love with it.  It has been heaven to use it every day.  I feel so lucky we had the skills to get this all done ourselves.

We put in some pretty neat strip power outlets under all of the upper cabinets.  We also put in strip LED lighting.  It's really great to leave the under cabinet lights on in the evening to provide a glow in the room without every recessed light being on.

 

After we put the crown molding on, it was quite a relief to see everything come to a close.  We still need to do a back splash but I think the kitchen looks and functions perfectly fine without one for now.  That is the only thing!  Whoo hoo!

I do have my eye on this tile as a potential back splash, but I need to order a sample before I commit to anything.  I love the look of cement tiles, but they are very expensive.  This one has the look but it ceramic.  I originally wanted a subway tile but I'm feeling like that might be too boring.  No rush to decide.

Here's a link to what the kitchen looked like before our remodel if you wanted to see that again.  It's come a long way!
