Strata, Evolved
The last of the countertops go in this weekend!! We bought a whole bunch of butcher block from IKEA and Jason's been cutting, sanding, and perfecting them on top of our new IKEA cabinets for a few weeks now. The main tops are on there now, with some class joint-work at the corner (with consultation and help from Dad) and a gorgeous undermount sink rim. The remaining pieces will be used to create a narrow bar top between kitchen and dining room and complete the two 12-inch cabinets flanking the new Italian stove! These things are beautiful, but oh-so heavy! I've been helping lug them around simply because there's no one stronger here to help Jason on a regular basis! I will be very happy to see the last of them pinning down something other than me!
