Woohoo!
Let's all come over for ribs!

good luck! post a picture! mine come next week!!

[wistfully] I love ribs.

Plumbing is last?

I'm excited for you. I know how it is to be without just plain anything.

I'm looking forward to pics!

So exciting. Show us pictures tomorrow.

Wow! You deserve it after waiting since Feb. I'm so jealous that you will cooking (and ribs sound delish) We are patiently awaiting the installation of our ovens and rangetop. I cannot wait to fire up our rangetop and cook something. I think I miss pasta the most (can't boil water too easily on a grill).

A real working oven? Sounds like heaven if you've been without for so long. Good luck with cab install! Do you expect all to be installed tomorrow? I'll place my order for pics now also. ;)

Any Pictures to show?

Well, two days of craziness, but they're almost completely in. But my RANGE is in! Whooo hooo!
So here are some pics. Please note - the wall yellow will be mostly covered up, right now it looks YELLOW!!!!
We aren't sure about the yellow yet. Will wait til soapstone is in, but opinions welcome!!

A few of the missing things:
He forgot the bead inside the cabinet doors & drawers, they were not supposed to be shaker. Easy fix, he says.
Leaded glass doors to built in cupboards (the ones where it is stained wood inside) Plus - all the trim around built ins, to make them match doors/windows in the house.
Leaded glass doors to pantry cupboard (the one where it is painted green inside)
Soapstone counters and soapstone sink
Tile backsplash
Open shelving to the left of the refrigerator cabinet
Oak peninsula/table to the right of the refrigerator, will stick out into the kitchen, making an "L" You can see the support just hanging out
Pot rack shelves either side of stove
Hood (copper with wood surround)

Color is most true in this photo:

And the tile in this pic is our backsplash (note - the field tile samples are small, our tile will be 4x4, same size as the decorative square rose tile and the soapstone samples)

so-nineteenoeight-are you using Motawi tile in your backsplash? If so, how? Things look great, by the way.

Interesting that you built uppers into the wall... I've never seen that before. What is on the other side of them that you could swipe the space? That's kinda neat!

leela4 - yes, we are using Motawi tile. 4x4 field tiles, a row of two all the way around, then behind the range a row of 7. In the middle will be the Dard Hunter Rose, and to either side of that the two tall roses. Hoping it all pulls together, lots of colors right now (we matched the yellow to the center of the Dard Hunter Rose, but it may overwhelm the room - plus when the oak field tiles go in (they're on the orange/brown side)...

deedles - behind those built-ins is a shed - when we moved in, two built ins were already there - rough shelves but with glass doors. We pulled them out and put in three more finished ones, and we'll have leaded glass doors this time. It's not super easy to access them over the counter, but I put stuff in that I don't use much in the upper shelves.
I liked them because the kitchen is narrow, and this gave us space at head-height. We extended the kitchen north 4 feet, but didn't widen it at all.

I'm hoping we end up with an eclectic, unusual kitchen, vaguely period (house is 1908 with lots of original stuff).

I love all the color! My mom's favorite kitchen colors are green and yellow, so I'm printing your pictures, to show her :)

Lovely and can't wait to see the backsplash and other features. Those stained glass windows are beautiful, as are those wood doors...so many great details!

Thanks, lavender_lass! Hope she enjoys! Oh, and no blue in the windows, that is painters tape - they're not done outside. Those aren't the stained glass windows - the diamonds are made from wood - this is the design of the existing windows in several other rooms of the house. The built-ins and the pantry cupboard will have leaded glass.
