Kitchen Progress

Progress has been made on the kitchen! With weeks of not so nice weather and even several inches of snow falling today we have had some trouble finding time to cut the counters.  On Saturday, Rob was able to get the counters cut because it was a bit warmer and our sink had finally been delivered.


I chose this black granite composite sink for the kitchen. I could not find one in stock at Lowe's or Home Depot, but I found a similar one on Amazon.  Rob was able to get installed with only a few hiccups. It may have taken a while longer than he had anticipated, but he also had to change out some plumbing because our previous sink was significantly smaller.

I picked up the Moen Annabelle faucet in a brushed nickel finish at Lowe's. I had gotten a $10 off coupon recently, so I was able to apply it to this purchase. After choosing the faucet I headed over to the display center to see if they had any granite composite sinks to check out.  I found that the one on display had the exact faucet I chose installed at the display kitchen.  I figured it had to be a good choice then.


Next up determining what to do with our back splash. We are still a little up in the air with that decision.  The cost breakdown for these additions were approximately $750.00. The faucet was $200, the sink was $195 and the counters at Ikea were $350.  We are very happy with all of these choices so far.  Wynn has been enjoying playing in the sink and "washing" dishes.

Thanks for stopping by!

  3. Love the butcher block counter tops! We have butcher block too but I wish we had done something else around the sink... You have to keep the wood oiled ALL the time or the water will dry it out! :)

  8. The kitchen is looking fantastic. I think the black colour will stay clean looking longer than white or stainless steel, great idea!
