Kitchen Update

Here are some flooring pictures from our kitchen and dining room.  We have most of the flooring in, we still need to do at the base of the steps, the closet in the dining room, and a small section in our living room.  Then we need to do all of the trim.  It looks so much better already.  I am really excited to have it all finished one day.  Eric has been in Tennessee this week so I haven't made too much progress.  We did have a person come on Wednesday to move our gas line and he put our stove in too.  Now we have a stove and a fridge in our kitchen- next appliance dishwasher- it can't come soon enough :)  Eric gets back tonight and I think this weekend we are hoping to finish up the flooring and do the trim and transition pieces in the dining room.  I think Eric is also hoping to get a coat of poly on the kitchen cabinets so that they will hopefully be able to be installed in the next few weeks.  As crazy as all of this has been, it really seems like we are making progress and every little bit makes a big difference. 
My mom came and stayed with us last week so that we were able to get a little more work done.  I was able to get the paint on the walls and ceilings done and we got the lighting hung, we still need to make a few adjustments to one of the lights (it is supposed to be a flushmount and it isn't quite flush).  The flooring was the big job done while she was here- it was great to have her here. 
Oliver was upset about our kitchen when we first started tearing it out and really wouldn't even go out in the kitchen even if we were holding him.  Last Friday, I put down the underlayment for the flooring, which made the entire floor blue, Oliver saw that and then said "Now the floor is blue, now it is safe and I can walk out here."  So from then on, he was much more excited about going in the kitchen.  The picture of him above is from the first time he was able to go in when we had some of the wood laminate down.
