Week 4 Day 2

Took some pics of the flooring I ordered!  I just love this!  5 inch wide planks in black Walnut finish! Flooring really changes your space and Im excited for this to make my family room and kitchen uniform!

Came home today to find my island and bartop wood had arrived!  Its gorgeous!  Milled in Dayton, VA by Lee Nicely, it is red oak and will be stained a dark walnut like the flooring.  Scott will be putting it together piece by piece.  I don't think I realized how big the island is going to be until now.  Wow!

Overhang will be about 12 inches on two sides of the island for seating.

THIS!

The steps were widened yesterday to double the width!  I LOVE it!  It totally opens up the space! 

This panoramic shot is of the kitchen right now.  Steps are not curved!

 Im really having a hard time picking colors for the walls.  Im pretty sure the island and the bar will be the rugged suede which is the swatch on the bottom right.  Wall colors are hard.  The cabinets in the kitchen will be white, the island the dark gray and appliances will be stainless.  I think Id like a light gray but don't want it to be too cold.  Ideas anyone? I have to get started sanding and getting the primer on the island and bar plus the walls!

The whole door should be white but I used a piece of paper and painted a little of it
white so I could see the colors with white a little better!

Rugged suede for the island and bar cabinets

 Spent some more time and money at Lowes today and ordered all of my appliances for under $2500.00!  Very happy for that.  They were all on sale plus I used a 10% off coupon that you can get on Ebay.  Its well worth it when you have big purchases!  Just make sure you read all the fine print!

Im searching for red industrial lights for over my island and my sink!  Love this one I found on Etsy!
