Sally, thanks for the link - interesting story!

Holly, your shelves look great and what a perfect spot to hang your ironing board(s) :)

Critter, you're amazing! I'm afraid to think about the projects I could conjure up if I had the confidence to pull out the power tools. You did a superb job making the cut to fit around the countertop and you're right a bead of caulk works wonders :) When looking at the beadboard as a possibility for the bathroom makeover, I saw where they now have beadboard wallpaper - might be an easier option for me to get the "look" without the hassle of cutting around all the obstacles!

We made some progress yesterday but work at the nursery took priority yesterday in preparation for the cold weather expected. Took measurements for a few cuts that need to be made for the laminate before installing as well as finalizing the measurements for the trim I'm going to apply to the kitchen cabinets under the island. We loaded everything in the car and went over to my father-in-law's shop to cut everything because his shop is fully equipped to handle everything. I got this idea from one of the DIY shows. They had used moulding to "frame" a bathroom mirror and thought to myself why can't I use the same idea and give the bottom of the island a little more character? All the cabinet doors have raised panels but see how plain the island looks?
