Installed butcher block countertop.

Okay, here’s a quick recap of the past three posts if you’ve missed something:

• removing old awesomely ugly bowling alley countertops
• cutting Ikea’s Numerar Oak butcher block counters
• sealing butcher block countertop

Next was the install. I wasn’t home for this part, but I know my neighbor/kitchen contractor used “L” brackets for the countertops and silicone seal for the faucet hole and the sink. Oh, and he commented on the sealer on the counters, saying they would make a great boat they’re sealed so well. :)

P.S. sorry the pictures are low quality. By the time I got home and able to take pics of the kitchen, it was getting dark outside so the photos are pretty dark too.

As I mentioned, I already love my sink! It’s an undermount, low divide stainless steel sink from MR Direct that I snagged for $188.89 with the drain baskets and shipping. The low divide makes it ridiculously easy to wash large pans and big items {like high chair trays.} ;)

My neighbor’s going to come back and fill in our cabinets where the stove is and also raise up the stove to countertop height.

So far I really like our faucet {bought it at Menards for under $50 if I remember correctly.}

It has two different pressure options and it pulls out to spray…

Next is our backsplash…yay!
