countertop is in

Finally a countertop, but, alas, no running water or faucet yet. Can't have it all.

First coat sealer

Kitchen is getting there

Here is the kitchen with cabinets but without appliances or countertop. Missing a new light fixture, as well. The trim near where the microwave will go will be added after microwave install. Mom, this is a good picture of the color if you are dying to buy dishrags... :-)

Still more Shadowlawn pictures

And now the floors are in!!

More renovations

Here are some more pictures of the kitchen and flooring as we grow closer to finishing the project. I especially love the picture of the walls of the kitchen before and after.

More pictures of house before painting and the saw to cut the tile. Green bonus room will become a warm light butterscotch.

Home improvements

This is the beginning of the home renovations pictures. We pulled out the existing lower cabinets in order to install the tile. Doing it on an angle to add interest. So, the picture with the tile is taken just at the door to the kitchen. I'm amazed at how fast the guys are getting it done and how much better it looks on the floor than on the display at Lowes. Very exciting!!!
