In Progress Kitchen Remodel

We're coming to the end of our kitchen remodel and I'm so excited!

It looked like this when we bought it (not the best picture)

And this is what it looks like at this point...

Instead of the couch we now have an eat in kitchen nook!

 Looking at the pictures doesn't do it justice. Mike has worked his butt off (with his dad's help) and has completed a ton! I can't wait to see what it looks like when it's all finished!
Here is what they have done:
-build a new wall for extra studs and support for the new cabinets
-dry wall and putty
-prime the walls
-wiring/electrical
-hang and install upper and lower cabinets
-install up lighting and down lighting
-make bench
-add bead board
-add base boards and trim

What we STILL have to do:
-paint the walls
-paint all of the cabinets (the ones you see and the entire other side of the kitchen)
-paint the bead board and trim
-make a bench seat cushion and pillows
-knock out the kitchen sink and cabinet and move it directly under the window so it opens up the kitchen
-add granite
-get a new sink and hardware
-Roman Shade
-buy a table
-buy a rug
-buy 2 chairs
-get new flooring!! (we're probably going to add hardwood floors in the kitchen to continue what we already have so it flows AND it is 60% less expensive then tile... so the obvious choice is.... hardwood:))

We still have a long way to go but it's getting close! We'll be doing a lot of these things over the next few weeks and because next week is my Spring Break I'll be tackling some of these items on the To Do List!
