Kitchen Progress & Delay

I'll have to admit the kitchen sort of took a spot on the back burner once we found out were were expecting, and then it basically went out of sight when we found out that we were having twins.  However, Rob has made some progress that I thought I would share because we are basically almost there. 

We ordered some custom cabinets for the smaller cabinets on the ends at Lowes. It took four weeks just to get those two in the store. The middle two were bought off the shelf at Lowes.

We picked out a black fan above the stove so it blends in with the cabinets, instead of matching the stove. The stove was fairly new when we moved in, so we are dealing with the not our favorite color right now.

Here is what the same space looked like before we did anything to the kitchen with the soffit in place. That soffit literally concealed just one pipe that were were able to have relocated into the ceiling rafters.  Sorry for the phone picture. I had to do it quickly because Rob was in demo mode.

Remember this is where we started after Rob ripped out some of the cabinets above the refrigerator.  

We are now at a standstill. Not because we do not want to finish this, but because other projects sort of took over. Once we found out in April we were having twins we went straight to work on their room, and finishing the little odds and ends around the house.  The only part we have left in the kitchen now is the back splash, so we are going to wait for spring. We did not have a back splash before so it is not something we necessarily need to have to right now.

Thanks for stopping by!
