Here is a view from the dining room door.

You can see the saw horses we used to cut the v-groove, and the holes for the wall mount faucet for the sink.

This shows the east wall back splash with the gap for the counter to ceiling cabinet on the far left.

Here is the completely boxed in pantry/shelf area. The top will get a nice pine board, and the counter top will fill the bottom.

We installed the ceiling of the bookshelf area and began priming.

You may have noticed in the earlier photos that there were two short boards missing under the windows. These have been reprocessed out of salvaged materials because I under estimated how much to buy. (Doh!)
