We're almost done

The kitchen remodel has taken on a life of it's own. But we're almost done. You know, those small last details that can get put off until you have the time? Well, those are the ones we're trying to get done. But here are some pics of the kitchen along the way.

We're so thankful Tyler and Emma only live a block and a half from us. They were here every night and a few weekends helping. We couldn't have gotten it all done with out Tyler. This is Roger and Tyler laying the FIRST floor. Yup, the first floor.


Here you can see the floor is very very light and not at all what we thought we were getting. We learned alot of lessons about flooring thru this.


And here are the guys laying the SECOND floor! Yes we took up the first floor and put down a second floor and it looks so much better. I just love the color of the wood on the second floor.

Roger is hooking up the frig we bought in Nov. YEAH!!!! We finally have an ice maker and water in the door. It's the small things that makes a girl happy.


I think my new double oven maybe my favorite new appliance. It's definitely something I've been wanting for a very long time. I really do love it. I use the top oven almost daily.


We decided to replace the cabinet knobs too. The white ones are the old knobs and the oil rubbed bronze knobs are the new ones. They make the cabinets look so much better.


Here we are getting ready for the new counter tops. Our contractor went on a missions trip before they came in so we had to wait for them to be installed. But it was so very worth it.


I have to download the rest of the pictures so I'll post them in the next day or so.
