I've had several people remind me that they hadn't seen the finished result, so here it is!
Here's a close up of the decorative bit above the stove. Still getting used to the gas stove, by the way. Low on a gas stove is hotter than low on an electric stove. I keep burning things. But I love the way it looks!
If any of you didn't know, Brad did this room himself. Tile floor, cupboards, installation of hood, range, oven, and the plumbing for the sink and dishwasher. Previous to this remodel, he installed the can lights. There was no hiring out, save for the counter installation (which included grouting the sink in). He even connected to the gas line and ran it through the walls. Safely. He is outstandingly talented, and I'm so pleased with the kitchen!
