Who stole the kitchen?

Having spent hours working out all the cabinet details with Erin (cabinet specialist at Lowes), we ordered a set of cherry cabinets about 4 weeks ago. Well, time passes and 4 weeks quickly go by and before we know it, we only just have enough time to remove the existing cabinets, tile and subfloor, and appliances, AND paint the walls before accepting delivery of the new cabinets. Rina assures me that the last few days have been the 'low point' in the upstairs remodel, as we are now using the bathroom sink for both hygenic and not so hygenic applications, due to lack of water in the kitchen. Here are a few photos of our bare bones kitchen.

View from the back of the house to the front door with cabinets and appliances removed, tile and subfloor removed. As we demolish the house in stages we are also learning more about its history. You can see where there was a rug nailed to the wood floor with the floor painted around it (in the middle of the house). Also there is evidence on the floor of the location of the old kitchen walls and old doorway to the kitchen.

View into the kitchen. Who stole the cabinets? What's up with the camouflage paint job? We decided on 'brown teepee' to the right of the doorway. The electrician's input swayed the final decision.

Oh, there they are, in the living room - naturally. We managed to sell these on craigslist in less than 24 hours!
