This week brought an end to the waiting situation.  On Tuesday morning our countertop was finally installed.  This also meant that the undermount sink was put in.  However, at the end of the day we still did not have a drain or taps so that wasn't really a usable type of progress.  It was great to be able to have a solid surface to work at though and Wednesday I put more things away and did some cleaning.  Thursday we installed almost all of our baseboards.  There are 10 that haven't been put into place for one reason or another.  Thursday we had just finished with the baseboards and the plumber showed up but he didn't get done so he returned today (Friday morning) and finished up.  Our kitchen is complete!  I can't believe it!  :)  It was so nice to cook brunch and then sit down at the table to enjoy it.  AND, the dishwasher runs so quietly that we can whisper and still hear each other even when sitting right beside it!  Amazing! 

So, in the next few days my plans are to paint the trim and baseboards and then once that paint "cures" a bit, start to put furniture back.  Once the big stuff is back then I'll paint the faux finish I want for the feature wall and hallway... that way I won't mess up my walls by hitting them with furniture. ;)  After that, the interior doors will need paint and door handles before we'll be completely done.  It seems I keep thinking of things I've forgotten needs to be done but we will get there yet! LOL
