Ice Cubes in Inferno

The kitchen is done.

NO!

Really! I’m serious! Everything is FINALLY done! (Expect for minor touch-ups)

Look!


OK, technically, the dishwasher hasn’t been re-installed. But that’s happening today. I don’t think we could be happier about the way the concrete countertops turned out. They took forever, but very nice looking, we think.


Again, technically, the sink doesn’t work and the water isn’t hooked up to the faucet, but again, that’s happening today. (I didn’t want to take the plastic covering off the sink until the plumber was done mucking around). See the spray thing over there on the right? I think that is my favorite thing of ALL time. It is SO pretty. The whole sink extravaganza is my favorite thing. I’ll be fighting anyone who tries to take over dish washing responsibilities from me. And the sink is GINORMOUS. You could baptize a baby elephant in that trough of a sink. Though I’m not sure why you’d want to do that.


We were kind of torn about the placement of the sink. We toyed with nestling it and the faucet into the right corner so there would be more counter space on the left, but in the end we just centered it. Reason #478 why our contractor is full of awesome: he MADE the wood countertop the basin sits on. And he twisted the arm of the kitchen cabinet guy to make us a vanity. Seriously, he just grabbed some spare wood flooring and whipped that out. Totally cool.


This is in the master bath. The sink is cool, but kind of odd. To plug it up, you have to screw the little stopper down. Funky. And there is no overflow, so all 12 of are children are banished from ever using the sink. Although I had some fun last night playing “sink the boats!” with the swiveling faucet.

Both Reha and I have been very busy in the evenings, so even though we could start moving our stuff back upstairs, we haven’t had the chance. Plus, I think we are a little a-scared to occupy the space. It’s so lovely and pristine. Humans would only ruin it. :-]

    Holy Crap! Look at all this STUFF down here. It's awesome!

     

    Really, I'm glad you made it down here. Almost no one ever comes down here. I'm like in a freaking dungeon down here. I get lonely. But not you. YOU made it all the way to the end of the page. For this I think I've a little crush on you. I don't know, is "love" to strong a word to use in this situation? Well, if it's not "love," then it's very strong "like." I'm totally in like with you for coming down here. You are awesome. Please love me back! I know, I know, I shouldn't be all needy, it's not attractive at all, but you don't know how it is to be stuck down here. Who scrolls all the way to the end of a page anymore these days? Anyway, thanks for shedding some light down here in the depths. I appreciate it. Shoot me an email and I'll send you a dollar, OK?
