Progress!

Since my last post, we've made a good bit of progress on the kitchen.  We primed and painted the ceiling and walls. The electric, plumbing, and HVAC are where they need to be. The tile floor was installed and grouted... AND the cabinets are being installed right now as I am typing this post.  Installing the cabinets is a several day process - but I am absolutely giddy with excitement as I am now getting a glimpse of my future kitchen in person!

Here are our floor tiles just being installed. 

Here is our new kitchen floor installed and grouted.  It looks wet because it is.  I had just quickly mopped over it prior to the cabinets coming in.

The flooring we chose is called Crossover in the color Nero by NovaBell Ceramic Company.

Despite the fact that this is a porcelain tile, it really resembles Pennsylvania Blue Stone (at least to my eyes).

When the kitchen is complete, very little of the wall will be visible after all the cabinets and back splash tiles are installed.  We opted for Sherwin Williams High Reflective White as our wall color.  This will not only keep the kitchen bright and light, but also set off the cabinet colors as well as the granite counter tops.  We primed all of the new drywall, but only painted the final color on the areas that will be visible.

Here is a sneak peek of my cabinetry (and yes, I know it barely shows anything!):

You can't see very much, but I am over the moon.  These cabinets are gorgeous

This will be the china cabinet wall; built in from floor to ceiling with all the cabinets above these bases having wavy/historic looking glass front doors.  Swoon!!!

We still need to make a decision on what type of shelving to use in the pantry, buy, and install it... But the finish line of our marathon kitchen remodel is almost in sight.  3 or so more weeks to go!
