Kitchen is FINISHED

It's been 3 months to the day since we started the remodel.  Demolition started on Monday, 6/22/09.  Yesterday, 9/22/09, the last piece was put in place - the new light kit.

This light kit uses regular bulbs instead of the CFL.  The CFL were not compatible with the controls on the wall; these bulbs are.  They are not as bright - there are only 3 60-watt bulbs in there.  Sounds like a lot, but it's kind of dim.  When it's really dark outside, the light seems brighter - so maybe we just need to get used to it.

This is probably the last post to the Kitchen Blog.  It's been "fun".  The blog, not the project.  But all the hassle and stress was well worth it.  I love my new kitchen.
