This has been a long journey, and we are still quite a bit away from being finished, but my goodness, to sit in the living room and look over at our beautiful shell of a kitchen is simply amazing.
Prepping the room for paint...
Ceiling painted. Check. (except the purple paint that was supposed to dry white, didn't quite dry white. so we now have purple ceilings......nothing a coat of paint can't fix!).
Walls painted. Check.
Bring in the cabinets boys!!!!!!!!!!

Initial installation...
So there you have it! We have a HUGE peninsula, I'm talking.....EIGHT FEET LONG by FOUR FEET WIDE! I can't believe it!!! I thought it was only going to be 5 feet long, what a nice surprise!
I broke down and ordered laminate countertops. I was really trying to avoid them, but with granite still a few years away in our budget- and the tile seeming to be too big of a project, we went with the laminate. I'm told I won't be disappointed.... we won't see the finished project until we get back from FL, so I'll have to wait a while to see for myself!
Next in goes the tile on the kitchen floor. We have to touch up some paint before we leave town. Oh, so much to do and so little time. But we are ALL more than ready for a nice little vacation!
I am excited to post finished pictures once we get back.... and secretly hoping that maybe Santa will come down our chimney and sweep up all the construction mess off our floors while we are gone!
