After concentrating solely on the bathroom the past week or so, it was finally time to try to take the kitchen the rest of the way. We needed a carpenter for the crown molding, as we couldn't get it up fitting just right and didn't want to risk ruining the molding. It took about 4 hours or so to get it all up by a professional, so it likely would have been twice that for us. I'm really happy with how it came out though.
We also mounted up the rest of the cabinet doors. The glass door cabinet's shelves were surprisingly a pain to get in.
I also put up the hanging light above the kitchen sink. Unfortunately it uses "candelabra" lights, which of course
no one would keep handy. I'm looking forward to seeing how it looks lit up.
Finally, and probably the biggest piece of progress, is I picked up a few of the countertops. I went with Absolute Black granite. We cut them ourselves to save cash, and as it turns out the granite really isn't that expensive, almost all of the big expense in getting granite put in is the labor. We only got some of them up, but I'm pleased with how everything looks
