Chris, that's a very NICE kitchen for you to store your 4 place settings of dishes, 8 cups and 37 jugs of protein shake mix in!! 
You thinking about taking some cooking classes,
Oh, ya and the color is MUCH better, Who got the fun job of scraping the popcorn off the ceiling? Is you grandpa gonna to the tile work?

damn chris that is off the hook... i love center islands, very cool, especially if there is a stove and an extra sink in it.
Very cool -once it is all complete, you should post up before and after pics
(chase, sweet kitchen too man, and thanks for inviting me down, DOH!)

Very nice. I think your kitchen is just a bit smaller than my whole condo here in Chicago.
As some of you know I love to cook and would give my left nut for some thing like that! Your definitely doing a nice job and I hope you will enjoy it for many years to come.

Thanks everyone, I'm really happy with how it's turning out.
I haven't picked counter tops yet. I'd like to do granite slab, but depending on how much it costs I may end up going with granite tile instead. Now that the cabinets are in I'm going to try to get counter tops figured out this week. I was originally going to go with a dark color on the tops but the more I look at pictures and the dark sample that I got next to my cabinets, I think I'm going to go with a lighter color similar to what Chase posted.
Looks good, thanks for sharing. I like that.
The guy who's done all the work so far did the ceiling scraping. I had a different guy do the texturing and I'm not too happy with it. He's going to have to come back and fix quite a few things. My grandpa is going to do the tile.
I'll let you borrow it any time you want as long as I get to eat a little bit of whatever you make

Very, very nice dude. I think the Older Generation (Bill's era) liked their homes all sectioned off and "cozy", and people our age like the open feel. My current house is open from one end to the other. Did you know, though, that granite is actually really porous and will hold germs like crazy if you're not obsessive about cleaning it? My sister found that out AFTER she had her granite installed... High five on the older girl too. Mine is almost 31 to my 28!
