Well, this has been a long time coming, but among the myriad of other projects and goings-on, I couldn't get it up earlier.  As many of you know I've been doing a lot of projects around the house.  In addition to finishing the basement we took it upon ourselves to have the kitchen and upstairs completely redone.  We've never liked the cabinets and flooring that was installed when we originally built the house almost 9 years ago.  So the kitchen, most of all, got an overhaul.

Below I've provided a visual progression from what it was to what it is now.  Note, there is still some work to be done (e.g. the water's not yet connected to the sink/dishwasher, I still need to mount the under-the-cabinet lighting, the baseboards aren't yet up...but it's a work in progress for sure.

I still don't have pictures of the basement up yet.  Those might be forthcoming, provided I can get it organized.  Too many things left undone in all the shuffle.
