Appliance Bonanza

Our lovely kitchen appliances arrived today! We selected black Kitchenaid models with a counter-depth, bottom freezer fridge, a slide in gas/convection range, a full-tub, hidden contol panel dishwasher, a separate icemaker (yes, I am my mother's daughter) and a free-standing microwave.

We decided to go with black over stainless to keep the big black wall as a continuous fixture in the kitchen. This theme will be continued with the backsplash tile we have selected, that should be installed in the next week or so...

The toilets were also installed today in all three bathrooms. This is part of the sewer testing - so far flushing, so good! Counter for the master vanity and second floor bath have been installed. Sinks have now been called into question. We are not sure which version we will use in the master. In the picture below, you'll be able to see the two choices. In the second floor bath, the undermount sink we purchased at Expo is a bit small for the large expanse of counter. We are now looking at the Kohler Ying Yang sink, it fits in the same size cut-out in the vanity top but is an above counter sink, adding a bit more visual weight to the space.

Almost forgot - Quartz Silestone Grey Expo in the master bath and Blanco City in the second bath.

Appliances in place in the kitchen (except the stove - it has some scratches on the front that need to be addressed)

Kitchen sink with commercial-style faucet - Kohler "Smart Divide" cast iron sink - the divide is much lower than a typical two-bowl sink. Another shot of the nicely graded sewer line First floor toilet! Not sure if we've shown this before - chrome shower head and faucet in first floor bath

Master bath shower, fully installed! Still waiting on the shower doors...Close up view of the master shower My side Clark's side Master bath toilet Master bath vanity - we are trying to decide between the two styles of sinks Second floor bath - toilet and undermount sink installed How about that moat! That's our water access line, waiting for inspection and approval. In the meantime, that's one heck of a deterent!
