Kitchen Update- March 7, 2014 Part 1

I haven't been keeping up with this for the past few days.  Been busy! The dishwasher we had ordered - was discontinued by the manufacture. They were going to send the newer model.  Didn't come as of this past Wednesday. We got on the phone with the people we had ordered from to see if they could come up with a solution.  We could either get a loaner that they would install and then install the new one when it came in or they had a floor model of one similar to the one we ordered and would give it to us at the same price. It was a brand we had never heard of-Asko.  Checked them out on line and went to look at it on Thursday.  It is a Swedish brand and has more features than the one I had originally ordered.  We decided on it and it was delivered on Friday.  We also had our instruction session with Paul and Greg on the  upkeep of the granite, the back splash and the travertine floor. Told us what to use and gave it to us. Glad i didn't buy anything for the care of granite!! Had been looking in the stores but also knew they were going to tell us what to use.
How to tell if the surfaces need to be sealed again-put an ice cube on it. If it beads-it is sealed. If it puddles it needs to be sealer again. The one guy has had his granite island in for 8 years and still has not had to seal it again.  You mix a little bit of this with water and wipe or mop away!
Now on to a few pictures.

The dumpster was gone-6:45 AM Friday. We have our driveway back!

Much sturdier lazy susan

Looking from the kitchen.

Loved the reflection on the granite

Furniture not arranged but you get an idea

Starting to put a few things away.
