Movin' along... It has been a busy few months, but we have managed to squeeze in some kitchen work here and there. We painted, installed the fan, hung the peg board and pot rack, and re-worked an old cabinet to make it a kitchen workstation under the window. So, I guess we are pretty much done for now. The next phase will involve new counter tops and sink and some tile work behind the stove and along the counter back splash. I have no idea when that will happen, but I imagine it will be a little while. And, for now, I am enjoying my new space!
Oh, yes, we also put in the counter on the other side of the kitchen. Shelves will be put up when we have the time, and the microwave will go up on a shelf to free up the counter space.
Found a cool spot for my pot lids!
In other news... we found this cool old hutch for sale on the street and I now have outdoor storage for my patio type dishes and such!
And, the doors are up on the laundry room!... the carpet tiles are in, too. You just can't see them in this pic.

The old door and frame have been replaced!
And, it is so much bigger! So excited about the new space and possibilities!
Oh, yes, and I have a new 36' dual fuel convection range! Isn't she gorgeous! We weren't planning on buying the larger oven yet, but, we ran into a deal that we couldn't pass up. 
More to come... for now, I have lots of painting to do!
And from the other side.
...and one from the office side.
And... drum roll please....
Still to come: bi-fold doors on the other side (this will give us access from both sides and allow us to open it up and use it as a pass through to the office if we need to- think extra room for parties... I know, it is always about parties with us ;o what can I say, we like parties!), Flor tiles on the floor ( if you don't know what they are, look them up! They are awesome!), shelves on the dryer side, and a fold down ironing board on one of the office doors.
At the end of the week the kids put on a 45 minute presentation. Each group performed 2 of the 3 pieces that they had put together: song, dance, and original skit. We were very impressed with all their hard work and creativity!
