kitchen update

It's at least a functional kitchen with power, water and all the appliances working.  AH took a few days off and we really hit it hard, putting in 10-12 hour days trying to get as much possible done.  It's days like these past few when I really wish we lived in a larger town so we could at least get food delivered.  Even in the middle of a huge project you still have to eat, do laundry and  take care of the pets..  Thank goodness for deli goodies, leftovers and frozen foods.  We have made amazing progress over the past week.  I even let a couple of the neighbors take a sneak peek.  The power is hooked up and we have more than one outlet working, the sink is finished with tilt outs, sliding baskets and a garbage disposal.  The major lights have been moved almost all the tools are out of the house. The biggest change is the tile is finished.  We've worked our buns off and the results are starting to show.

This side of the cabinets was painted white to match the bead board along the back of the cabinet.

High compliments from my SIL.  She says the room is bright and sunny despite the black cabinets.

close up of tile, the grout is grey to hide dirt.

tile looks great with cabinets and counter top.  The chains that are in almost every picture were from the ladder pot rack  they're gone now.  Just wait til you see what we are doing over the sink cabinet.

Not much on the counters yet, I'm going for a less crowded look.  That may not last long.
