So after we painted the kitchen, and I stood back and looked and said I liked it, "It's like a Tuscan yellow." Mike said he didn't understand what I meant by that. So I said, I don't know, that's just what it feels like. Fast forward to this past weekend. Mike's friend came over and as Mike was showing him the kitchen he said, "I really like this color. It's like a Tuscan yellow." So apparently that's really what it feels like. Is tuscan yellow even a thing?? I'm pretty sure I've never described a yellow that way.

So here's some pictures of what's been accomplished so far:

The dishwasher, oh how I love it. Oh and all of the appliances are not stainless. They're a painted silver so they don't collect fingerprints. Yay!
A sink! A two-basin sink!!! You have no idea how excited both Mike and I are. Top of the cabinets, and look! A kitchen gnome! At the moment we're missing a bag of hinges, which explains why there aren't any doors on these cabinets :)Here's the other side. Still all the trim-work to do and look, there's a hole in the wall! It's where another window will go in the spring.

And here's the other side...As you can see, we're still a work in progress. That is the bar frame will be covered in cedar and will have book shelves on this side. A place for all my cookbooks!

Yup, we're pretty excited in these parts.
