Welcome Butcher Block. We are so happy you arrived yesterday @ 4:05 pm weighting 100lbs 10 oz. Mother and father could not be prouder.
Favorite pet-Rooster-Cook-a-doodle-do!
Remember how she used to look?
Here she is topless!
I think she was well worth the wait.
I went with a dark walnut finish for the butcher block. All the trim in my house is American walnut. It gives the kitchen a rich feeling. I wiped her down and used her to make tacos for dinner.
Now there is just one thing left to finish in our kitchen and that is the back splash. I wonder how long that is going to take?
You can see here how I painting the island.
Love your island! Great job - found you at Blue Cricket Design's linky party!
