Long-awaited by me, at least.
After those first cabinets went in, not a whole lot happened for a couple of weeks. Well, that's not true, but for some reason it felt like there wasn't much progress. In truth, when I step back and look at it, a whole lot's happened. A new closet was created for the kitchen by building into the dining room, using the old doorway; and a new, wider doorway into the dining room was carved out of the wall; we chose the granite and some appliances; lots of new lights are happening; new window went in; the last of the upper cabinets went up; and today, a bunch of the base cabinets went in.
That makes me feel much better.
Here's a close up of our actual granite slab:

New window:

And here's where we're at right now:

Huzzah!
Obviously, there hasn't been a whole lotta cooking going on. Hope to be back in the swing of things soon - it is apple and pumpkin season, after all.
