The great kitchen remodel is nearly complete! The beautiful Aga is in and it's everything that I thought it would be. I haven't fired it up yet, but I can feel some of Rosie's chili coming soon to a stovetop near me!
To complement the cooking section is the gorgeous Fisher & Paykel double wall oven. This thing weighs over 600 pounds and it took four men an entire afternoon to install. It is the most solid, exquisite piece of machinery... it's like a Caddy. The big hole there is waiting for the Sub-Zero -- we've been waiting 3 weeks, and we've just been told it will likely be another 2 before it arrives. This is the only thorn in my side. I really want that fridge in.
Our sink area with our fab Fisher & Paykel double dish drawers. The lovely plywood is waiting for granite.
And our original nook. The Mayor went nuts with a blowtorch to strip the paint. I know, I know. What can I do? At least they will be painted -- the matching table will be inserted soon as well. We've been sitting in the benches as is each night, dreaming of when the kitchen will be whole. It's not far off now!
Whoa, Maya! Love your website! All this while your house is under siege? Which energy drink are you slurping? I need some! Your kitchen is awesome! I can't believe it's the same one! I love how it still complements the rest of your home. As Kenny word say, "Cool pad!"

Maya,
Kathy turned me on to your site in her lovely family letter, and it is brilliant! The Craftsman touches that you have in your kitchen are great--Aaron and I just finished restoring a 1920's Craftsman style home and it is our favorite style of architecture. Great job!!!

The kitchen looks more spacious and cleaner. I also did some slight remodeling too. I took out all those wooden chairs and changed them with brown leather bar stools.

Aga? Guys, its swedish! When have you ever seen anything good come from that country? Their excellency is based on slick branding and Nordic influence which they themselves have no part in. Trust me.

Those are excellent choices on your new kitchen equipment. From the looks of it, your kitchen still has plenty of room, and it can even double as a place to entertain guests.
