Yes, just a sneak peek at the kitchen

Happy Monday all! So how was your weekend? Mine was actually pretty wonderful, even though I didn't leave my house til Sunday afternoon. We got so much more done in the kitchen that I am happy to say that makeover is FINALLY getting closer to done. Can I get a Hallelujah!
The cabinets are now painted, slightly antiqued and polyurethaned. Has anyone ever used polyurethane? Talk about contact high. Oh.my.gosh. Let's just say I was in a very happy mood while doing those cabinets :-)

Do you remember that list of things that we still had to do for the kitchen? Well we crossed off 4 more things off that to-do list! Now that's progress baby... at least in this house it is! 

Things we still need to do:
-Put up the baseboards and the crown molding
-Cut the pantry door to fit back in the now shorter door way. Originally I had wanted to get a new door but the old pantry door is good enough for now.
-Add new kick plates for under the cabinets
-Add decorative legs for the under cabinets.
-Make a new kitchen island. We have the granite counter top but we need more cabinet space so I am looking for a buffet or old cabinets to make into island. This is more of a wish then a to-do.
-Add wood blinds for the window over the sink.
-Replace hinges for the cabinets to hidden hinges.
-Touch up the paint on the cabinets, refinish the antiquing glaze and then finally add polyurethane.

Now on to the sneak peeks. Here is a peek at the new color on the walls (before we added the molding and before the cabinets were repainted).  
Carolina Inn Aqua Club might be a mouth full, but it sure is purrty.

And now on to the floors .. those gorgeous black slate tiles. Yes I know that you can see every light colored speck of dirt on these floors, but I think they are so worth it. I sweep A.lot.
before (oh so gross)....

 a peek at "after" (oh so lovely)

Do you think me crazy if I said I can see my "vision" coming together now, even though we started this 2 months ago AND still have lots to do? There are a few minor things that need to get done with the trim but that's hubby's problem, all I am thinking about are runners, clocks, art work, shades, towels, baskets and teapots!
