So happy to announce that our counter tops were installed on Wednesday by noon. We are still miles away from a fully functioning kitchen. Our cook top is connected to gas and ready to go. Our sink and dishwasher still need some plumbing parts to get things running well. The new sink is deeper than the old one so we have to make adjustments. Dear started the layout and planning for the backsplash and as soon as the sink and dishwasher are up and running he’ll start on the subway tile. Last but not least will be the window trim. Good thing he’s retired!
When it’s all done I’ll do a full before and after post. We are pleased with the quartz! It’s called White Peppercorn.
I’m off to a Seattle Sounders Soccer game with my kids tonight that will determine if we go to the finals again this year. Go Sounders!
UPDATE:
We won! The Seattle Sounders are Western Conference Champions again this year!
The Sounders will play Toronto in Toronto on December 9th.
These two booked their flight to the game and now all they need are tickets for the game!
What a fun time celebrating together and now we are looking forward to watching the final.

The Advent Season has begun and it’s snowing on my blog again. Thankful!

Bow chicka wow wow!!!
Of all the remodeling things you can do, nothing beats updating the kitchen.
Go Sounders and way to Go with your kitchen. It looks amazing Ellen! Can’t wait to see it all done. We have picked our counter top but haven’t even started thinking about the back splash. It will be a 2018 project at this point. Where has November gone??
So exciting to see progress being made, and it looks amazing so far! I can’t wait for the final result, but no more than you, I’m sure! And there are always those bumps in the road, lol… Have fun at the game! Hard to believe this is the last day of November!
Looking good, another step nearer. Good luck with the match. B x
Nice countertop! A kitchen renovation is exciting but I’m sure it tries your patience.😃
Hello, your new countertop is beautiful. I will look forward to see before and after photos. Happy Friday, enjoy your weekend!
I do like your counter tops – very nice. I’ll be picking mine out one day soon.
Loving the new countertops Ellen! You all look so excited – great family fun together!
…make our Formica look shabby.
I love your new countertop. What a great color!
The counter looks lovely with the color of your cabinets. You’ll be so glad when it’s all done and you can sit in your “new” kitchen and enjoy
