Progress report

The new counter has three coats of linseed oil/beeswax and is waiting for the last round of burnishing with steel wool, which will happen tomorrow.

This is where the kitchen stands today. 

We have open shelving for a while--definitely not in the long-term plan!

We are obviously missing doors, a few drawers, baseboards, and some new drawer fronts (which WILL be painted the same color as the cabinets and WILL NOT look janky), and we still have the ugly refrigerator and range. BUT things are really coming together! A person is coming by this evening to give an estimate on installing the tile backsplash!
