Well folks, it's been a year, can't believe it! We just got back from a trip to Jamaica to celebrate our 4 year wedding anniversary and we also have our island installed... well, semi installed! Just the cabinet bases and the electric are completed, we also bought our sink and faucet, and the quartz is now on order, they just did the template last week! We totally forgot to order our sink too before we left for vacation, so we had to buy our sink online while in Jamaica! lol, never thought I'd be shopping for home improvement items while relaxing on a beach! I have a pic of the island so far (the doors are missing from the middle cabinet) and HOLY CRAP, this this is HUGE!!!! I guess I didn't realize how big 8ft was... well, go big or go home! We also bought our Amish table which will be in mid August, all hand crafted and solid wood, I'm hoping it will become a family heirloom that we can pass on for generations to come!
Here's our giant island! Still needs the trim and doors on and the back piece, oh and the counter top!
Here's the sink and faucet, we got he sink on Overstock, it's the same as the one on HD's site but we got it on sale + a 10% coupon, so we saved 75 bucks!
And just for fun, here's some pics from our trip to Secrets, Montego Bay, Jamaica!
And one more, because I feel bad I've left my hubby out of all the pics!
It looks great so far! Can't wait to see the finished product. Your trip looked fun too... we went to Ochos Rios, Jamaica in the spring!
ReplyDeleteNice! We've been to secrets Montego now 3 times, I've wanted to go to Negril or Ocho Rios but my husband is a creature of habit... Though next year I want Hawaii!
DeleteHi Rachael! I love your island. It looks really modern versus the gourmet island that RH offers! Since it's been a year, how do you like your Venice so far? We're at the process of building one also... and hope that everything goes according to plan!
ReplyDeleteI love our house, though I wish at te time we knew we could have afforded more. I would have went with a model that had a larger master bath, but that's my only complaint, also that our neighborhood didn't offer a front porch at the time but does now! I'm so jealous of every house that's being built now with a porch! But anything that you know you can do cheap later, do it, RH charges a butt load for upgrades
DeleteThe island looks great so far. And Jamaica looks beautiful. We are going to Negril, Jamaica next year and I can't wait!
ReplyDeleteLove the island, it looks great! And Jamaica looks great, too!
ReplyDeleteI love your island. Gorgeous! We are building Venice and I did not like the island. I want exactly like yours. Could you tell me where did you order yours?
