Finally got the counter – tops. Turns out the matte finish may be slightly susceptible to scratching. Flo-Form actually scuffed the bar top, so it looks like we’ll be getting a pretty major discount. Its not that bad of a scuff, it just looks like a wet spot under certain lighting, plus we’ll be covering it with a cutting board. So the counter will be ringing in a $550. Can’t really complain. We can use that money to do something about he floor which is EFFED!
SO by this flick, you can tell that paint will be a pretty major improvement. I think the colour will look dope, right now its so white and blah. We have to finish the back of the bar top, prob just drywall, and painted to match the wall. We’re also talking about our plans for a tile back-splash, but we do to some wiring first. That back wall needs a couple of outlets and some under-counter lights.
The window is a bit of an issue also. The frame was destroyed, so it need to be built back, and that god-awful venetian blind needs to hit the bin. The empty area to the left of the oven is where a dishwasher will go. We’re also trying to decide what to do with the empty wall space over the oven. I was talking about getting a hanging pot-rack, but open shelving would be awesome too.
Its definitely come a long way. Still aiming to have it done for my b-day April 29th.
More updates to come.
