Month of (Non) Progress

Well its been a month since we last posted (thats my bad)!  I'd like to say its all finished, but we still have plenty of little tasks to finish up. We'll talk about those later. When I last posted pictures of the granite install I purposely left out pictures of the floor.  I didn't expect me to be such a slacker in posting the pictures and updating the blog!
  
Here are some pictures from the floor poly.

First coat of poly
Second coat of poly
Final coat of poly, still wet.
We don't miss the tile in the kitchen. I'm sure my feet will love the floor in the winter time when the floor isn't icy cold! I suppose I'm more careful about wearing shoes and picking stuff up when I drop it off of the floor to avoid scratches and staining.  So far floor is holding up well.

Recent progress on the kitchen/bath include:
We picked out and installed a toilet.
Ordered a mirror for the 1/2 bath (will be here on Wednesday) and hopefully in one piece.
We received the fridge panel, it is temporary installed with a clamp.
We googled for hours on the right location for cabinet knobs---still seems TBD, hollar if you have opinions.
We argued discussed the right location of the cup pulls...which meant we only installed two.....
I finished stripping the bathroom and kitchen entry doors (whattt a project---post to come on that).
Mom washed, cleaned and organized our kitchen. What a saint. She has a nice picture on her iPhone of all the dishes she washed by hand. I then told her our dishwasher has a 1-hour wash cycle. If she reads the blog maybe she'll send me the photo and I'll post :-)
Installed light fixture in eat-in part of kitchen.
Took the plastic off our appliances :-)

Still have a long to-do list:
Paint & Prime two doors
Paint slider and three windows
Install kickboards
Install crown molding
Install cabinet hardware
Put in trim----really would LOVE to match trim with rest of house, however don't feel like stripping TONS of trim and some may have been damaged during demo.
Pick out a BACKSPLASH so that Tommy Tile and SISIL can come do it
Pick out stools for eat in portion.
Order light for over kitchen sink.
I'm sure it keeps coming....just can't think of anything.

Next post will hopefully be bathroom reveal! That will be complete as soon as I can get the hubby to install the mirror.
