The remodeling work on our house (the interior at least) is almost complete! Just a bit more work on one of the bathrooms, one of the guest rooms and some random things....which will probably take a few more months knowing how slow we and the contractors work around here. But here are some pictures of the new kitchen: Kitchen1, Kitchen 2. We love the new kitchen except for the window which will be fixed tomorrow. The countertop is granite tile (in absolute black) and the floors are procelain tile that looks like stone. Charlie wants to point out that he picked out the beautiful sink and faucet and put up the track lighting :) We tore down a wall where the 'penninsula' is right now. You can see a right above on the ceiling. We added that to tie in the 2 ceilings because the dining room and kitchen ceiling height were slightly different. It's much nicer and more open now! Just so you could REALLY appreciate the work we did to the place, here are some before pcitures! Before: Kitchen 1, Before: Kitchen 2.
Here are a few of our living room: This is the archway between the dining and living room, and Before. Here are a couple of the living room: Living Room 1, Living Room 2 ...Before - ah! green paint!
And here is one of the downstairs/guest bathroom which we are using as our bathroom for now untill the upstairs one is completed. We only did a partial remodel for this bathroom. It has new floor tiles, we replaced the vanity with a pedestal sink, new toilet and a mirror instead of the old ulgy medicine cabinet. Some before pictures: before 1, and before 2.
Much thanks to Charlie's dad, Peter for helping us with a lot of the seemingly small things which really were big things!! And tools we borrowed from our friend Justin of course! More pictures to come when we clean up some and when we finish the upstairs bathroom and move out of the guest room!
