Very pretty. What kind of sink did you get?

Thank you.
I chose the Kohler Stages 33 sink.

Love your marble and hope you post more pictures as it is completed. Your colors are nice so far, looks wonderful. Show more later, k!

That looks sooooo beautiful! I'm excited for ya!

Thank you for all the kind words. It'll be a while before it's finished so here are two more.

congrats! it looks tremendous...especially with the choice of wall paint!

Beautiful marble! What is the color of your walls, btw?

And 2 years? I'm on week 3 and tired of not being able to walk barefoot thru the house without all the stuff that gets stuck to them. Bless you!

Really lovely. I'm curious about your wall color too, when you get a chance.

And in a few weeks, I may be asking you how you like that sink! My DH (the cook) keeps waffling on me.

Absolutely beautiful. Great choice

Gorgeous! Love it with all the white cabs and wall color - fresh and elegant - cannot wait to see more pics as it comes together...

Beautiful marble!!!! I too love the wall color and the hardware....and the faucet! I can't wait to see this finished kitchen, it's already jaw dropping!

Gorgeous!!! I am so excited for you. Your marble looks beautiful all on its own, but with your cabinets, hardware and wall color it sings. I'm so glad you posted pictures.

Ow, wow, just gorgeous!

soooo pretty

Oooooooh, so beautiful! Those crystal knobs on your uppers are just like crowning jewels. Love it!

This kitchen had been living in my head for the last few years... to see it come together is one thing. But to read all your compliments is truly wonderful. Yay! I designed a nice kitchen.

To all who asked about the wall paint...
It's called Gray Cashmere by Benjamin Moore. I was shocked at how blue/green it looked on the walls but I love it.Everyone who sees it loves it too.

I know exactly what you mean. Our previous home was new construction. It was always clean and pretty. From the moment we moved in here (2 years ago), our house has been "in transition". Built in 1922 and not touched since, it was need of everything. It'll be a long time before I can walk barefoot and not have things stick to them. I don't think I'll ever take on a project this big again.

The sink is fabulous. It was a lot more contemporary looking that I originally wanted and I was afraid it was going to clash with my polished nickel Rohl faucet. But... I chose it for functionality. Since my kitchen is so small, the extra prep space has been invaluable.

While waiting to save up enough for the counters, we had plywood countertops. So, we have been using the kitchen space and sink for 4 1/2 months. It was nice to know for sure that we didn't need to second guess our faucet placement.Obviously, the marble is soo much nicer than the plywood. no splinters lol

The next items the list are...
shelves will go up on the left side of the range wall. And we will eventually do custom fronts on our cabinets in a shaker style... painted gray? That's how we are leaning right now. I'll keep you all updated as we continue on the reno journey.

In case you are curious what it looked like before

What an exciting transformation for you! Your marble has some similarities to mine. I don't think you will tire of it, and I think the blue/green in the paint adds depth and character. I think that if it matched the marble more closely (not sure if that is where you were aiming) you might find the results rather blah. It worked out well. Enjoy!

I still look at marble with some envy...you have done a great job changing the kitchen from old to "fresh". Keep going and keep posting pics!
