Cut and Installed IKEA countertops (Birch)
Cut Hole and installed drop in Sink
Installed Faucet
What we have left to do
Finish installing hardware

Install kick boards around the cupboards and island.
I am so excited for when the whole space is done but for now, having a functional kitchen is a huge step into this journey. After two months without a kitchen sink, I was more than ready for it when it went in last week.
So far we have learned through this project we are more than capable to handle big projects and we are so thankful to be able to make it happen.
