Kitchen catch up

Have you ever had an idea about a project in an over-excited-to-see-the-final-product-so-maybe-slightly-demented-need-to-begin sort of way?

Yeah...me neither....

Ok...it's true! I confess! I am so guilty of this that I've started like eighteen projects and have yet to complete one all the way through....don't look at me like that!! STOP JUDGING MEEEE!!!

My kitchen was one of those projects. I had this manic, totally over-the-top energy in picking out wood stains and counter tops and cabinets in the beginning. I worked my man into a frenzy installing this and tweaking that, but then my high ran out and I thought 'eh...it don't look so bad that way...i'll do it tomorrow'. We've been puttering around with this and that for weeks, ignoring those final little details on the kitchen and leaving it in this semi-dressed state that wasn't exactly horrid...but not even close to presentable either.
Then finally....FINALLY...we got tired of our more-than-half-but-not-yet-done kitchen and started back in with fervor.

We picked out and installed the backsplash tile:

We fixed, prepped, and painted the wainscoting to match the cabinets:

We dressed out our peninsula with corbels and baseboard trim:

We painted the walls with Oops paint and prayed it would look good:

We picked out and installed the cabinet hardware:

Just a few more things and she'll be all glammed up and ready to go! Oh, this slighty-demented-and-over-excited-need to see this kitchen come together will be fulfilled soon!
