The painting is done, the hardware is hung and the kitchen is now in use again!  After consulting the Realtor she said we could stick to the red and just change the hardware out to pull the cabinets into the modern world.  It looks fine and should still sell well.  I did paint touch ups and made the window sill white per recommendation.  It is a lot easier then painting the whole room. 

No one warned me though that granite was a pain in the butt to take care of.  Apparently it has to be cleaned almost every day and only with a granite safe solution.  So like stainless steel and all of the restrictions it has.  Scott has been looking into a granite shield for the new house so we don't have to worry about replacing the seal every year.  That is an other lovely tidbit about granite, reseal every 6 to 12 months depending on use.  Now I understand why people do choose corian or tile over granite sometimes.

Even though the kitchen is complete I now have all the regular things to keep up on like cleaning and yard work.  Scott and I are already wiped out like an old couple from the past few days and we have a long group night tonight.  Plus I still have theatre data entry... so my week is still pretty full and long.  I'm getting to those store updates this weekend even if it kills me.  I've got to make time for my work too.  That does mean the show and two parties might be out this weekend, we will see.  Sorry people.
