Now the kitchen feels like it's starting to come together!
When we ended up short on the flooring, Mike started searching online. We tried a salvaging place that was about an hour from our house, but they wanted a lot of money per square foot and it would take over a week to get it to us. Mike found a bunch of boards being sold online and it was just 2 towns away, so he rented a truck and ran over to get them.
You can tell the difference now, but the contractor & floor guy said once they are sanded and stained you won't be able to tell.
We had been prepared to switch the flooring in the butler's pantry to the same tile that we used at the back door entryway, but we ended up with enough wood to continue the wood flooring in there too!
I forgot to mention before, but we had to transfer the 80+ boxes of cabinets from the barn into the old kitchen... it took us a good 4 hours! It definitely put the kitchen out of use (we just had a narrow pathway to the fridge!)

The cabinet installation guys were great. They got right to work and all went smoothly.

We are still dealing with the fridge cabinetry on the left side of that photo. The rest of the cabinetry on the far wall can't go in until after the countertops get installed.

The countertop templates were done the next day. You can see the square sample of black granite on the cabinet to the left. I'll have a countertop post soon!
