It looked pretty cool when it was finished though!

Mr. Snook drew a picture on it.

The last major piece to go in was the backsplash, which was specially made “smoky mirror”.

Finally the thing I was waiting for all along: my fancy-pants pull-out trash bin. I LOVE IT.

The door also went onto the dishwasher to full conceal it.

We hung our IKEA rail for our bits and pieces.

And that was it! Now for the official “after” photos.

And now we’re all done! Oh, we’ve had a few bits of paint to touch up, and we decided to put another coat on the chalkboard wall. The faucet we chose isn’t great, so we’re thinking about replacing that. And one of the welds on the benchtop needs a bit of extra hammering. But other than those little niggles, it’s pretty much exactly as we envisioned. It took nearly three months from start to finish, and I’m very happy with the outcome. Would I ever do it again? Not in a house I’m living in!
