After the initial quick-change of the demolition part of my kitchen renovation, there was a lot of slow, seemingly invisible work that happened before my contractors finally painted the kitchen, dining room and living room last week. Here are some more photos to demonstrate progress, jumping off of what you first saw here.
Looking straight into the kitchen from the entry hallway, this has been the transition, in order:
How it looked when I bought the apartment
With everything ripped out.
Once they cut the entry and window thru to the dining room.
Preparation to put in a new hardwood floor.
Walls are spackled, and the new green paint's half up...but I hate it! Will have to repaint the kitchen.
Earlier this week I took a field trip to my cabinetmaker’s workshop to see my kitchen cabinets mostly constructed and arranged exactly how they would be in my home. That was a lot of fun; seeing my cabinets up close like that made the end of the process seem real, and if everything goes smoothly from here on out I will have my apartment completely renovated, free of dust, and ready for guests before Christmas!

OMG I kind of love the paint color – It’s so Spring-y! But maybe you’ll love it more when the cabinets & everything else is in place?
So exciting!
