And then there were countertops!

We are excited to see the space coming together. This week they sanded and stained the floors(no pictures as they are covered up again until all the work is done), installed the sink and installed the counter top.

This is the china cabinet (glass still coming) and the high bar. We envision using this space for working on the laptop, eating breakfast and as a buffet area when entertaining. Note from Tom - and as a bar:)
You can kind of see the under mounted sink in this picture - the open space is for the new dishwasher (thanks to our wonderful aunt).
Here is where the fridge will go and the microwave on the shelf. Funny note on the fridge, which is currently in the living room. Our nephew was over yesterday and asked why we had a fridge in the living room - really there is no good answer to that which wouldn't produce another why question by a 3 year old.
The final spot for the stove and hood. We are quite excited about the granite - it looks great. We selected this slab because we liked it but also because it called Mesabi black and is from our very own Lake Superior region (maybe Ely).
