kitchen progress

lots of folks are asking for pictures of the kitchen, and while i never like to reveal projects until they're totally done, who knows when that might be! our goal is to be almost completely done (minus some trim painting, maybe) by thanksgiving. as with the bathroom, the goal was to keep things simple and to update in keeping with the rest of the house. we definately could have spent more money here and there but realistically, for a house this size, there was no need to go over the top and outprice ourselves when we try to sell it.

so here is a little progress slideshow. there are a few pictures from when we bought the house (we painted it red shortly thereafter) just to give some perspective. then some destruction photos to show how much had to be ripped out! like the bathroom, parts of the kitchen were taken all the way down to the plaster lathe walls. and then finally some pictures as it is now. of course there is still alot of work to be done... lots of trim, lots of paint, and the new saltillo tile. this weekend, assuming no one gets sick, the ceiling will be finished and painted and maybe the red walls as well! so, there you have it...
