A Quick Update
Well, we haven't done a whole lot since finishing the kitchen so there's not much to share here. We have started a little work in the backyard, changed the front door and tore out the entry in prepration for redoing that whole area. That project, along with all the others, is currently on hold. Eventually we will add the backsplash in the kitchen and we plan to redo the upstairs hall as well. Downstairs will be completely renovated when we start down there and I think we've found the floor that we'll use....
Brazilian Walnut
Photos of the front door and backyard to be posted soon!

Kitchen Update
Everything has been ordered! Parts are starting to come in and we are getting excited! It will be a while before the kitchen is all put back together since we are also working around Rob's schedule, but it'll be worth it in the end.
We pulled up more of the floor this past weekend. Much easier then pulling up the ceramic tile! Still some floor to pull up that is under the cabinets, but it should all come out fairly easy when we get to it.
Photos to come.

Last Minute Change
We checked another store for pricing on the cabinets and while browsing through the samples decided on a color change. We are going with the original store we started at, but will now be getting these cabinets...
Grove Collection, Maple with Coffee Glaze
It is the same line (Grove Collection) and wood (Maple) as the first set we chose, but the color is lighter.

Floor Demo
Rob pulled a corner of the kitchen floor tonight to find out what is under the ceramic tile. Hoping he would find that it will be easy to pull the floor up. Not gonna happen hun! This is what we found....
What you see here is the ceramic tile on top followed by the backer board, then a layer of linoleum and it's backer, and finally another layer of linoleum (this being the original floor from 85 when the house was built).
24 years and 3 floors. Now it's our turn to put a floor in. But we're only laying one layer... :)

Updates
So I know it's been a while and there is much to report on.
The laundry room has had some work done to it, but is not completed yet.
The big bedroom downstairs has been turned into my home studio.
The smallest bedroom downstairs was turned into my office.
New appliances were added to the kitchen (THANK YOU to those who helped with that!)
(PICTURES OF THESE AREAS WILL BE POSTED SOON)
We took some time off after finishing the office to determine what our next project should be. We have decided to renovate the kitchen! Those beautiful new appliance deserve a beautiful kitchen to live in. :)
I can share some photos of the pieces that will go into the new kitchen.
New floor: Handscraped Oak
(which will also be in the hall and on the stairs and entryway)
New cabinets: Shenandoah Maple Grove with Mocha Glaze
New cabinet pulls:
Bar Pull (for the cabinets)
Cup Pull (for the drawers)
Knob Pull (this will only be used on a few select cabinets/drawers as our special shout-out to TX)
New countertop: SenSa Granite Giallo Latina
And here is a photo of the granite with the countertop at the store:
New Undermount Sink:
Here is the one I WANT
This is the one I will probably GET
New Faucet:
So that's it for now. A sneak peek into the new kitchen. Work has not yet begun, but we plan to start very soon.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
