1/2 an island...

First I want to say that my husband is AWESOME!  He's been working hard on putting our kitchen together... and it's coming out beautifully!

Today he cut one of the big slabs of soapstone...


Then.. with help... we hifted half of the island top into the house and placed it on the island.  Man o man... was that piece HEAVY!!!

So here it is... 1/2 an island for now...


Here's a close-up....
When we put Mineral Oil on the soapstone it will turn black and you'll see all the beautiful white gray veins!

Yay! A kitchen!
I really like the exterior color of your house. Reminds me of home...

This is so beautiful. I'm so loving the island, I wish my kitchen was big enough to have an island. I adore your house. Love all the windows in the front. You must have amazing views.
