Exciting Installations

It's time for the new cabinets to go where the ugly ones used to be.

Obviously this is a posed shot since IKEA cabinets aren't installed using a hammer!
How embarrassing.

Take that back, this guy should be embarrassed!

OK. He's too cute.
Notice the new ceiling fan. One of my "favorite" things about the old kitchen was the lighting variety. There was a white ceiling fan, a spot light fixture with 3 lights, and a wood and rusted metal chandelier-style fixture. Now, there are 5 recessed lights and the ceiling fan. The next photo shows the pendant lights that hang down over the pass-through counter top areas. There will be a total of 6 of those.

(Can't wait to have things neat again!)


Here Taylor is laying one of the final pieces of flooring.
None of the old kitchen is visible any more!!

It's time once again to build more cabinets. Notice the glass cabinet on the wall. I am forcing myself to wait until construction is finished before installing the glass shelves, although,
you see I am risking a few plates in the plate rack.


IKEA cabinets install very quickly. The open cabinet above Taylor's head will hold the convection microwave which I have yet to find.

That brings us up-to-date. We are taking off several days this week to try to finish the kitchen. Can't wait to blog the rest of it!
