the kitchen

the kitchen came out better than we could have ever imagined, thanks to the gorgeous cabinets a la steve.

Kitchen
we went way modern in this space. the stainless steel backsplash and countertops (still under wraps) seem to emphasize this fact.

Kitchen
the biggest feature (literally) is the 10' long island that runs down the middle. it's topped by that marble we found a few weeks ago.

at first, i wasn't sure about the big blob, but now, i love the winding gray vein.

Kitchen
ever the bargain hunter, dabney spent weeks looking online for deals on faucets and sinks. she found this sleek faucet on sale and a single basin sink big enough to bathe in (my one request) - all on closeout.  she does good work, no?

it seems that my first cup of coffee in our new kitchen could be as soon as next week.  more soon...
