Thank you for all of the nice feedback! To answer a few of the questions... The drawers next to the dishwasher will have glass fronts on them (when I get around to the glass) with a 2'' pocket for decorations like candy corn at Halloween etc. Since some of you mentioned the penants I thought I would add that we bought them at Lowes, they don't put off a ton of light but it is nice ambient lighting. CEFreeman we actually bought our doors from the lumber yard, it is a reemerging style:) and the paint color is a greenish gray more on the green side even though it is called Nantucket Gray. Since so many of you commented on the granite here are so close ups of it! Although it is a mid-priced granite the guys who installed it told me they were excited to do something other than builder grade as that is most of what they do. We were thinking about Giallo Ornamental and decided to do something with more movement after reading the thread about things people would do differently. I have to say to Lollyei that it looks totally different in the yard, thier lights are very distorting so it looked blue in the warehouse but I knew that once it was in natural light it would be great. Thanks GW!!!! One other note, I know many of you don't like the french door style fridges. Ours is not counter depth. I have found it very useful with 2 little ones that can't climb inside of it like our old side by side. The slide away shelves are great to make room for tall stuff like pop bottles without having to move the whole shelf...just a FYI to those who are looking for a fridge.

Hi hillarie - sorry that I didn't see this sooner! I LOVE my Donna Sandra tops - they have a few amethyst type spots, but nothing really "sparkly". Do you have a pic of the slab? It's possible that this batch is different. I used to have pics on here... but for some reason the links look broken - I will try to fix. I will say that one of the best things about my tops is that it's hard to tell when they are dirty due to the movement in the stone... you really don't pick up easily on crumbs, spots, etc., which is so great with a husband and three small kids who can make a quite a mess :) Romy - thanks for your post! I am so glad you love your deep drawer - I still love mine as well! Do you have a reveal thread yet? Just from that little peak I would bet your new space is amazing!!

It looks really great! Great job on everything. I wouldn't bother putting pulls on the undersink doors unless they are operable. Some open forward with a plastic tray mounted to the back to put small scrub brushes etc. but unless you plan on doing that I don't see a need for the handles it looks great the way it is.

Thanks for your positive comments. This garden has been a 30 minutes at a time work in progress. It just shows what you can do in small increments when they are all strung together. Baby steps will eventually get you there. Today was not a good day for me but I pushed myself and got 3 daisy gardenias, 5 strawberry begonias and 4 foam flowers planted and a few weeds pulled. Then it rained and is still raining so everyone is getting watered in real good.
