You have waited long enough!

Here is the finished product.

Above and below is the view you have when you walk through the front door.

Below is the view from sitting on the couch.

A close up of the waterfall feature for the island. The quartz material goes to the floor on each side of the island and those cabinets open up for extra storage.

I love how the IKEA cabinets turned out. I am very glad we didn't spend the money to go custom. I don't even think we would know the difference.

Below is a good shot of the covered fridge which Stoph made on his own. We hired someone to install the cabinets but Stoph was the one who figured out how to build the custom cover. He is a keeper:)

The backsplash matches our front entry tile.

Do you think our walls look a little bare? Artwork is next on our to do list.

It feels amazing to be living and enjoying this space (now that we know how to work the new appliances). 

I'm not going to lie, even though Stoph was exhausted from all of the work, we are already secretly plotting the next project:)

Question: Would you share the source for your sofa? I have been looking for one for months and really like the shape (and color) of yours.
Thank you!

The sofa is called Manhattan and it is from Urban Barn. I am actually really happy at how well it fits into the new space. It matches our countertop perfectly:) Here is the link:http://www.urbanbarn.com/products/Furniture/Living-Room/Sofas-and-Sectionals/manhattan-sofa/46

Also came over Aubrey & Lindsay... The kitchen is fabulous!! Where are the lights from? Would you mind sharing the source? Thanks

Hi Emily. Thank you for the compliment. The pendants are from West Elm. They were easy to instal and ended up being the perfect fit for the room. We also purchased the Edison light bulbs that West Elm sells as well.

Fabulous Kitchen! I am so jealous - do you want to come back to the "Bay" and re-design my 108 year old house?? I love reading your blog - so creative.

[meredith]

Thanks Carole, you are too sweet! Definitely feels good to be done. Are you seeing the end of your renovation tunnel yet?

[Carole Cameron]

good God - NO! Steve is too busy "fighting" fires and doing side jobs for everyone else and I am all consumed with school these days. I need to win an HGTV competition or something .... Can't wait to see what your den looks like. Steve was very impressed with your kitchen design as well.
