Quartz Has Arrived


Old island top. It was temporary for about 2.5 years.


New quartz. Turned out beautiful.


We used the same faucet 


and it works much better with this sink than it did with the old one.


We got the matching quartz in the bathroom & I picked up this faucet for $25.


Great improvement.

Quartz Is Coming

Today the quartz countertops were paid for. 
I absolutely LOVE this sink but have chosen a new undermount sink. We will use this same faucet as what is currently pictured.


We are not removing this wall or cabinet.
I am going to put tile on the walls, was thinking subway tiles since they are the easiest to find. I'll cover that phone outlet.


The quartz will go all the way over where this temporary piece of wood top is sitting.
They will make us another piece the same size as this piece of wood that I can use on the other side of the stove to even things out.


We had planned on getting about 56 SF in quarts or granite and go with butcherblock for the island but the butcher block isn't happening fast enough.


I have the wall mount metal cook fan that needs to be mounted above the stove.


The new top will look similar to this only browner.

We're also having them do the bathroom countertop and a new sink in there.
 I purchased a new faucet for the bathroom and it might as well have a new countertop too. The installer is bringing a new sink for in there also.
