The Reveal

We completed tiling and grouting today. Aside from the toe kick, a bit more grout sealing and a bit of moulding, this kitchen remodel is full-wrought.
In an effort to diminish the green pallor cast by the fluorescent lights, I used an incandescent work lamp (you can see its reflection on the fridge).
Big Red looks rather handsome with a backdrop of subway tiles, wouldn't you say?
And my favorite part: the capacious single bowl sink and the Great Faucet.
We moved into this house in the summer of 2004. Of the items in the kitchen at that time, only the floor and the window remain unchanged. Old carpeting in the hallway will next undergo our wrath.

Gorgeous.
The incandescent light is one way to counter the fluorescent lights for the photos, but doesn't your camera have some white balance control function?

So, will there be pictures of peopleses cooking in kitchenses?
Because, while it is very pretty (amazingly pretty, even) the sheer tidiness of it scares me. ;o) There must be in-use pictures so I believe it's real!
