Finally!
Here are some shots of the kitchen. I still have to put on the knobs and make a valance for the window but other that that it is finished.
The island is all new, the rest of the cabinets were painted. I totally LOVE the faucet. It is my favorite thing besides the 'recycling center' which is in the island. I decided not to show a photo of the recycling center but it is on the side opposite of the one you see in the pic. I am finally getting used to the microwave in a new location. I was still walking over to the pantry for a few days. It is so convenient to have it over the stove. I really like the chocolate walls but you can see there is not a ton of wall space. I think the valance will all a little color - the chocolate and blue - and I will still look for some blue accents although there's not too much room left. And I want to try to keep the counters from being cluttered. I do like to keep the mixer and cuisinart out so I will use them (which I do). If they are in a cabinet somewhere I know I would just forget them or not want the hassle of pulling them out.
Well, I need to run and tend a 6 year old...

I love the island. I wish my kitchen was large enough for an island. Nice job :0)
