NEW KITCHEN! almost done

So I forgot to put some pictures of our new (almost done) kitchen on here. Hopefully they do it justice. Matt was working on the custom built cabinet nooks/shelves on either side of the window and the crown moulding today. We are SO close to being done but done enough that I can hardly remember how crappy it was when we were in the demo and reconstruction phase. The two beginning pictures are taken after we had already done some changes. The white cabinets were built by Matt and we took down the hanging cabinets that were above the penisula.

Here is a list of some of the things we did.

• pulled out cabinets
• impact drilled and smashed nasty tile countertops
• cut half the wall off and finished it
• built a new partial wall to the side of the fridge
• replaced insulation and sheetrock in the walls
• tore out nasty ceiling sofit
• sheetrocked nice new flat ceiling
• scraped popcorn/acoustic ceiling and retextured
• ripped up linoleum in kitchen, carpet in dining area and tile in entry
• put down cool new linoleum like wood look flooring (so easy and so nice...after it airs out for a few days...not a green product)
• finished edges of carpet
• moved appliances around
• installed new cabinets and created island
• corian countertops installed (the only thing we didn't do ourselves)
• new blanco single basin silgranite sink (i will never have more than one basin again)
• paint paint paint
• installed new door and trim
• recessed lights and pendants (which need to be replaced because one was broken)
• in the process of crown moulding and shelves...
• will do a tile backsplash when our money tree blooms again
