Kitchen Project

Posted by on

With the coronavirus quarantine going on Ryan has been taking full advantage of having every weekend home to continue to make great progress on the kitchen. He had planned a 4 day weekend in March to tile the floor while I was away – my trip got cancelled but he still got a start on the ‘finishing of the kitchen’ project that weekend and hasn’t quit yet.

Here are some pictures to catch up to the current progress. Note the backsplash was done back in Nov so I put dates by each picture.

Nov 1 – Tiling the backsplash — this was during the bathroom tile job
Nov 2 – Backsplash grouted
Mar 13 – Getting ready to tile
Mar 14 – Day 1 of tiling
Mar 15 – Day 2 of tiling
At this point Ryan was pretty sore AND out of the yellow clips 🙂
Mar 21 – inlay in front of the stove tiled
Mar 21 – Progress
Mar 22 – Tiling finished!
Mar 25 – Grout completed!
Mar 25 – Grout complete and dishwasher installed!
Mar 25 – Grout completed – view of the inlay
Mar 28 – Fridge/Freezer installed finally!
Mar 28 – Trim around island completed
April 4 – Pantry trim completed

The pantry will have french cleats throughout with shelving. That is why he used plywood on the walls (easier to hang the french cleats).

April 4 – Wainscotting
April 4 – Another view
April 5 – Wainscotting going up on the kitchen walls
April 5 – Under the peninsula looks awesome

Still more trim work to finish up (caps on doors and wainscotting) then painting (lots of painting). Ryan plans to build a cabinet above the fridge, we have crown molding both on the ceiling and above the cabinets to install as well. So the kitchen project will continue but it’s getting to finishing stages so it’s wonderful to see the progress!
