Hi everyone! It’s Cindy here with the next update on our kitchen renovation. There have been a couple of changes since my last update.
While the crew was away for the weekend Charlie (with a little help from me) was able to get the ceiling and walls painted. You can also see in the picture above that the old flooring has been removed. We were hoping that we would have been able to keep our existing floor but unfortunately that didn’t work out. The laminate tiles that were there had been glued in place (even though it wasn’t necessary) so instead of just being able to pop them out they broke when it was tried.
This sent Charlie and I scrambling to find flooring that would work well at the transitions to the family room and dining room as well as coordinate with our granite counter top and cherry cabinets.
We were able to find a closeout porcelain tile that has a nice range of colors that mimics some of our granite colors.
Yesterday most of the tile was laid in the kitchen area. The old floor also went into the back hall, powder room and laundry room. We didn’t want to have too many different floors on the first floor so the tile is being laid through that area too.
The tiles are 1′ x 2′ and they didn’t put them all the way to the wall in most places since they are just being covered by cabinets. The same thing is true for the patchy paint job you see above. The wallboard does have a coat of clear sealer to help preserve it as well.
We love the tile and are excited to have the cabinets coming tomorrow!
Stay tuned later this week as we celebrate a special day for our special girl and another kitchen update.
Fun fun fun and well done on your selection of tiles.
I can hardly wait to see the cabinets!!
Are you getting new appliances, If so, Will you have elec. or gas cooking?

Mom loves the tile floor – it is beautiful. She says it is so hard trying to tie the granite, the paint, the tiles, the cabinets and all together. You almost HAVE to start with the granite. Your renovation is coming along nicely and already looks amazing.

the mama has a new object of desire now: a granite countertop…. it’s so beautiful!!! but I think the way to my daddy’s ears is closed with granite too LOL
Looks like it is going to be beautiful. I love the tile. Renovation is so exhausting, but it will be amazing when it is finished.
Happy Barkday Millie!!!!!!!!
Mrs Cindy, Mommy wants to know how the granite countertop holds up in the kitchen, she loves the granite in the Master Bath.
LOVE the tiles you chose! Very nice!

That tile is so pretty. 🙂
I love the tile!!! We had to remodel our basement a few years ago, and we chose almost the same thing!!!! It’s hard work, isn’t it? You’re making great progress!
