The kitchen has been 95% done for quite a while but there was still the trim around the windows which needed to be completed. Now it is installed and it is ready for "the reveal". The kitchen cabinets are really everything we had hoped for (Thank you Maggart & Sons). They are made of cherry and we opted for a natural matte finish. The countertop is made of marmoleum (I'll have to put the pictures up of the installation). We made a very slight backsplash with the cherry trim to match the cherry trim at the edge of the countertop.
The skylight is quite a feat of carpentry and design by the talented husband. To create the bend in the sheetrock he had to wet it down and bend into place and then hope that it didn't snap when it was installed. The countertops next to the stove are travartine since the marmoleum couldn't be used to put something hot on top.
For someone that didn't want the decor too "woody" it is a surprisingly wood filled kitchen.... and I really like it.
We also moved the refrigerator from this little space where it stuck out to the back left corner which is also "the Pantry" - also has our microwave. The nook is now our kitchen desk area.
