The kitchen is now complete.

So, here we are. Most of the work is complete and the punch list should be worked out in the next few days. The Ikea cabinets have, surprisingly, been a dream to work with. Big cost saver for anyone looking to remodel their kitchen. Spending money on tile, countertops, and lighting make a much more aesthetic impact.

Everything has been functional for the past week, aside from the range, which is waiting to have the gas line run. Hopefully today. Sink, oven, microwave, and dishwasher have all been in use.

We've decided to make a bit of a change to the island area to make it more stable and to match the rest of the kitchen motif. Pictures of that will be up soon, as will updated pictures with pendant lights, undercounter lights, and cabinet doors in place.

Because we had cabinets sitting in the living area, I decided to start installing to free up some room in the rest of house. Not the best way to go about remodeling process, but then again, every remodel is so different and each family has different needs. So, we did it this way and it has worked out quite well.
