Cabinets And Tile!

In go the kitchen cabinets!

 The opening on the island is the place for the microwave.

It was so weird to see the kitchen come together where there was nothing for the longest time! And fun to imagine the appliances that would fill the gaps in the cabinetry.

 The installer was still installing them when I took this picture.

 

In goes the tile!

See the microwave? That was the only appliance for a long time!

At this point, I could hardly wait to move in! In the above picture, you can see thin boards holding up the security screen covering the window :-D While it looked horrible having them held up with boards, they served a purpose because we had to remove the pulley systems inside the house to drywall so if they fell, we would be in complete darkness inside until they were removed because we would have no way to roll them up again. So ghetto house it was for a while!
