We're making progress!

The backsplash has been installed and the slate wall is up!  I'm so glad we were able to get these projects finished before our Christmas party last weekend!  We still have a few things left to do until we can cross the kitchen off of our to-do list but we're getting there!  We'd like to have the pantry extended to the ceiling, all sheet rock, texture and painting finished before Christmas.  Hopefully Santa will bring us knobs/handles for our cabinets and then we eventually are going to replace the island and get new floors......and then a new double oven and fridge.  Ok now it doesn't seem like we are anywhere close to finishing the kitchen remodel but as my dad says "It's a marathon not a race..."!

I really wish I had a good before picture!
