Mark and I are at the point in our kitchen remodel where the heavy lifting is done.
What we’re doing now is mostly cosmetic, and it makes me so EXCITED!!!
Look at that farm sink! With the butcher block counter top!
My poor family must endure several texts like this throughout the day as each piece is installed. They humor me…out of love…and text me back saying they love it too. 🙂
A quick rewind to show you how we got the base cabinets secured and level.
Mark then hooked up the water lines to the sink and to the dishwasher. (It took him all day, and he was very sweaty by the end, but it was a success!)
The birch butcher block came in one long piece. Mark cut it to fit and then we used butcher block conditioner to protect it.
A girl with this exact counter top recommended it to us…it’s a combination of beeswax and mineral oil and it’s supposed to keep spills and stains from being absorbed into the wood.
We’ll put all the fronts on the cabinets next…we’re both really jazzed about the gray color we picked.
I think it looks clean and modern and chic!

Can’t wait to see the results! We were in Ikea a few weeks ago scoping out kitchens – I’m sure you’ll give us the scoop. Love those butcher blocks!
