If we ever got everything we wanted, we'd end up bored, right? Nice to have something to work towards...looks like what you have is pretty functional, and you've got some really nice cookware. Thanks for sharing it with us - I'm sure it will be beautiful when you get it done....

Oh Karen, Karen, Karen .......
You must not understand the DIYer.
When a contractor does the job it gets done, there is an end.
For the DIYer there is no end. No matter how much gets done and finished there is always something else that can stand a changing. Either minor or severe.
I'm afraid to start something new because it always leads to something more.
It's imposable to get everything we want because there is NEVER an END! NEVER!!! NEVEAHAHAHhAAhaHAHAAHahaahAHAAhaahahaah ....
I need a drink ...

Not hardly!
I have pictures of my kitchen before knocking it down. It's a nightmare I would rather not remember. In a previous thread I mentioned how there were joist in the back of the house that needed replacing, there were a few under the kitchen that needed replaced too. And a mouse (mice?) had stashed at least a 5 pound sack of cat food under the cabinets.
Wife insisted on this house because of the amount of money we could save. It only cost me my sanity.
The whole house needed reworking so we rented a 10 yard dumpster and filled it with 'house'. This is where the kitchen stalled.

Wife asks me when I'm going to finish it. I remind Wife how when you start with a nightmare and get it to only a not-disturbing dream it can be lived with for quite a while.
Whach you think of the lights? LOL, It was Industrial lights done this way or crawl through the attic with pink insulation to do the wiring .... I hate pink insulation (pathologically) ... Some day I'll put in real fixtures, probably after going on Valium.
Yes, the floor is urethaned plywood. We took up the carpet in the bedroom with the intent of putting down hardwood, discovered the room really could use a second sub floor. Put the sub down, urethaned it to seal it, it didn't look bad so I started running numbers and found we could second sub floor with urethane the entire house for the cost of doing one room in hard wood. It's quite functional.
