Thank you SheilaG, Plum Doodles! Mom is absolutely thrilled. She keeps saying "I just can't believe I finally have a new kitchen!" We finally got the backsplash tile (long order time) so I'll have to post some new pics soon.

Sweet!!! Love it. All we want is a kitchen reno. Not much to ask for after 52 hours of labor (you know we have to throw in a Guilt Trip) :) You're a Good Son
