Halfway Through Hanging the Cabinets

So Brian and his dad have been making some great progress installing the cabinets!  The majority are complete around the stove.  One more wall cabinet will go above the washing machine area.

I am really pleased with how the microwave and oven are looking.  They definitely did not look so nice in our old kitchen when mismatched cabinets surrounded them.

I am anxiously awaiting using the oven and stove top, but since the sink is still in-op we have to wait on making baked on grossness type dishes.

 Tonight the guys installed one of the two pantry cabinets.  It is a starting point for that whole wall to be covered in cabinetry.  A cabinet will be above and surrounding the refrigerator, and the washer and dryer will also be inside of one.

You have no idea how excited I am to have the washer and dryer back inside the house and functioning.  Bye Bye Fluff and Fold Laundromat!  I was literally doing laundry in these pictures and also while I'm typing this up. 

The refrigerator is hooked up to the water line too.  We have ice, people!  I've never had a refrigerator make ice for me.  What a luxury!!!

Lastly, the island cabinets will be installed. All but two cabinets have been built so it's helping clear up the explosion of Ikea boxes that have been all over our house for the past few months.

Then comes granite!!!
