Kitchen Part 1

I may have bitten off more then I can chew. It seemed simple enough, "re-do" the kitchen.  Just buy some Ikea cabinets, a sink and a counter top and voila! I think It was when all the walls were torn down that I knew this was a MAJOR remodel. 

This is when it started to hit the fan...

Getting better...


The cat, always in the way. But he's right it is a nicer back door.
We really had only intended to replace cabinets and fixtures, appliances etc....but now we have replaced walls, and a door in addition and are currently debating our floor issue ( the floor may be the most un-pleasant part of all). An added bonus, we are doing this work our selves, new home owners and not familiar with renovation, luckily we have a very kind brother law that is and he has spent the better part of some weekends cutting drywall and hanging cabinets with us. Right now, as I sit and stare at this..... 
(this is currently what my kitchen looks like.)

at least I have my new appliances (even if the electric is cut to the kitchen.)
I just want running water, a working stove, and oh yeah a countertop. I am just on verge of an all out nervous breakdown. The contents of my Kitchen are strewn about the house, the house is a mess, and everyone is going crazy. I am desperate, is it ever going to end? ( I am positive not by the start of our February break..ugh.)

This probably hurts more then helps, but kitchens I love...you must visit here, I love it! (also covet her pyrex.)  And just one more before I really get hopeless...
