I love our new island

Here is the view towards the dining room. Matt just installed the "dining side" of the kitchen island. I was worried that it would be too big, but it is just perfect. It is probably the largest island I've ever seen. Maybe we''ll set some kind of record. :)

Here is the view towards the future bar area.

ooooooooooo....the unobstructed view to the backyard. Effin gorgeous. Makes my heart hurt....I can just see us keeping the doors wide open when the weather cools down...

This is view from right outside the sliding glass doors.

Night shot from the back patio.

1st dusk shot from the back yard. It is more than I ever imagined!!!!

Here is a shot with the flash on. I can't wait til we can have party time usa...I miss being a social butterfly!

Another night shot of the new kitchen...

We still have to do all the following:finish the cabinet doors, install the hardware, install the sink, disposal, faucet, soap dispenser, amd cooktop. We also have to have our counter installed and new floors laid throughout the entire new side of the house. We need to install our new globe lights over the dining side of the island and install the tounge and groove ceiling.


Matt and I are thinking that we should wait until October to have our house-warming party. That way we can finish his office, finish the exercise/2nd guest room, hall pantry, and maybe the master bathroom. We will finish the front and back landscaping and complete some finishing touches so that the house is like 90% done....we'll have it down to weekend stuff by the holidays...we hope!
