Phase 2

When we first moved into our house (oh my goodness) more than 2 years ago, we had Phase 1 of the kitchen remodel completed which changed non-useful desk and wall oven into useful cabinet and counter space. So what looked like this...
From New House

became this up until Sunday night. Since this, we also upgraded the dishwasher to stainless and the only appliance left in white was the stove pending Phase 2.

Now, phase 2 of the kitchen is in work which is ultimately where we wanted to go in the first place but didn't want to do with a newborn in the house. Yesterday was new counter-tops installed and wow what a difference just that makes. Today is tile back-splash, tomorrow tile sealing, and then the last step with a different crew will be getting rid of the horrid fluorescent light box and repairing the ceiling behind it plus we have to install the new stove and faucet and stuff. Here is the Monday night picture. I'll update again in the next day or so.

Looks nice! Are you using a contractor? I've been wanting to get a quote on doing our living room floor. If you can recommend someone, I'd appreciate it.

The contractor we are using is F&GC (literally stands for Floors and Granite Countertops).

They are located on the 45S access road in front of the mall.

They were recommended to us by another friend, and we are happy with their kitchen skills. We have not done our floors (yet) so we can't comment on their floor installing abilities.

love them. can't wait to see the backsplash. when we changed out our countertops and backsplash it made a world of difference. that said it took us a year to decide on what we wanted on backsplash even if we were certain we wanted glass tile, it was hard to decide.
