Kitchen Renovations: Part IV

When last we left, I revealed our upper kitchen cabinets with fully painted doors and a new dishwasher...and promised big changes were coming. Then life (and the holidays) happened. There have, in fact been some big changes (and still more to come). 
The walls have a new color that meshes well with the new white cabinets. You can still see bits of the previous green walls. Those areas will be closed off, one day. 
The previous half wall/bar has been demolished and is now an extended countertop! Part of the really labor intensive piece of this project was Nicholas building the support for that extended countertop. He started with some pieces of wood he scavenged year from a heavy duty pallet. He stripped and shaped the wood to be a nice focal point of the kitchen. There is also now beadboard on the wall under the extended countertop.
On New Year's Day, the old kitchen sink finally came out. Here are Lil' D and Nicholas making some final adjustments to the hole for the sink.
And here are the plywood countertops with the concrete board mortared down and the backer board on the wall for the backsplash.
In the next kitchen renovations installment get ready for the tiled countertops, a new sink and possibly a backsplash!
