Kitchen renovation - phase 1 - with pics
So, one month ago my old kitchen was ripped out. Since then, my DH has been doing the electric, plumbing, gas line, sheetrock, etc. Today they finished installing the new floors - which I  They will darken a little over time. This was an unplanned expense - we thought we could just repair the floor area under the peninsula (which is not in the new kitchen floor plan) but we couldn't - we would have to refinish the entire room - kitchen and dining room. So, DH decided he wanted new prefinished floors instead (less mess). Here are a few views of the floors and sheetrock...
Here is the kitchen area
And here is looking into the dining room from the kitchen
And this is the staircase that separates the two
And here is a close up of the floor
The floor looks less orange in person. The cabinets should be installed next week - can't wait to have a kitchen again!

Re: Kitchen renovation - phase 1 - with pics
Those floors look like Brazilian cherry. We installed those floors in our first home and just loved them. They really do age nicely and the more sun they get the darker they get. My only tip is that becareful with people walking with heals on them. The last Christmas we had at that house DH's aunt wore heals but the plastic part was so worn down to the nail of it and scratched up one whole side of the floor of where the table was. I tried so many products but nothing worked to fix it because it was deep.
The kitchen looks great to and I love how it is next to the DR.

LOVE the floor. Is it brazillian cherry? If so, it gets even nicer when it darkens. Thats what we had put in our baby's room before we moved.
I Can't wait to see the finished product!

Re: Kitchen renovation - phase 1 - with pics
Thanks for the compliments everyone.
The wood is actually Kempas, which is Indonesian Cherry. Very similar to Brazilian Cherry but lighter in color. After it darkens, it will be the color of Brazilian Cherry before that darkens (if that makes any sense).
I have to look up the information on the chandelier - it was on my old computer and I can't remember the manufacturer right now.

Beautiful floors!
I totally know how you feel about not having a kitchen... we went over 3 months with no kitchen and it really sucks. But it's all worth it!!
