I'd mentioned at the beginning of the kitchen rehab that I'd try to finally post pics of the two bathrooms we remodeled a few years ago.  Here they finally are!

When we moved in 5+ years ago we opted to abandon the upstairs "master" bathroom for the time being and just used the main floor bathroom.  So it went from being 100% unusable to completely done, no in between bandage like the main floor bathroom and kitchen.

Here's some before photos...

Toilet and old sad sink............................................................................low ceilings

We were able to vault the ceiling...lots of old dirty insulation up there though!

                               

 Other side of the bathroom - there was a closet for our master bedroom that we removed and stole the space for the bathroom 

(we already have a decent sized closet and the space was more valuable for the bathroom)

This bathroom was really the first step in our grand kitchen remodel.  The laundry had previously been downstairs off the kitchen in a large laundry/cat room that was mostly wasted space.  So we moved it upstairs. It's new home is the opening to the right of the window...

 

Finished product!  A few weeks later and one mishap of stepping through the open floor making a hole into the office ceiling below...

  

David built this great vanity out of metal and wood - wanted two faucets but something unique.  

Walk in shower with bench and rain shower head...love!

Sliding barn door to save space

And the view out the window...three happy fat goats and some little chickens.  Not bad.

Kitchen has been done for months!  We absolutely love it and use it a lot...which means it always looks "lived in".  Finally snapped a few pictures of it all finished and cleaned.

We spend tons of time at the kitchen island - from the sink you have a great view of the backyard and side yard

 Many people ask if we like the open shelves - we had them in our old kitchen as well.  I definitely like them.  I prefer things to be out where I can see them and use them regularly versus hidden away.  It forces us to only have the dishes we really like and use on a very regular basis.

 
The old brick wall against the shiny white tiles turned out really nice.

We preferred to keep all white appliances - since the stove is white, we kept our white fridge and dishwasher.  But pulled in some stainless steel on the front of the kitchen island and on the side of the stove (can notice it a little on the next photo)

 New stairs that are AMAZING (some things you can only appreciate after having less)

 I wanted a wall of windows looking out into the backyard...pretty close!

It was important to still have an 'entryway' area.  This corner is for coats, shoes, cat food, etc.  David built these blue cabinets himself - they turned out really great.  The tall one is the cleaning closet, great use of space.

Amazingly I don't think there's much we would change!  After thinking through it and studying kitchens for 5 years I feel like we created something we're very satisfied with (for now) ;) 

We're officially on the finishes for the kitchen!  Feels good to be to this point.  Tile wall got completed.  

Floating shelves are being worked on and should be installed soon. Perhaps the most exciting part since the last post is that the cabinets got repainted the correct (or much closer to what we had in mind).  Again the photos are after dark and photos are not super great. 

Blinds got installed, new rug purchased, brick wall sealed, and the little loft area above the kitchen got painted a fun and exciting color and pattern.  

The cats are pretty happy to be able to go anywhere in the house again!  They're already checking out the new rug and any chair we move around. 

Lots has happened - but various parts keep getting taped off so David can paint.  We only had about one day to enjoy the wood floors and then they had to be papered off to protect them.  Likewise the windows have had plastic on them and no lights yet so it's been fairly dark and not overly exciting.

However, the ceiling, trim, and entryway cabinets are all painted.  Left to paint is just the walls and kitchen cabinets.  Oh, and the countertops are IN!  But you won't get to see it as it's taped off in this photo...we only had about 12 hours to enjoy that as well.

We've had a difficult time getting the kitchen cabinet color correct.  What you'll see in these photos is NOT the color we were hoping for.  It's a little too mint green for what we're wanting.

Today was a pretty exciting day though.  Stair treads got installed and they look awesome! They might not look impressive to those of you who take your stairs for granted, so I'll toss in some before photos.

This before photo is from when we first bought the house - so the stairs are super sad looking.  They were also much skinnier!  Remember David went to all of the work remaking the entire stairs just to add 10 precious inches to the width.  Best 10 inches ever. 

All of the lights also got installed today.  Happy to be doing some of the finishing touches. 

Actually starting to look like a kitchen again!  Fingers crossed we'll get the correct paint color tomorrow and the cabinets can be done.  The kitchen wall against the stairs will be tiled up to the ceiling, paint the walls, final touches on the wood floor and install the appliances...after that we're really pretty close to being able to move into the new kitchen. 

Dry wall is up!  David is very happy this phase is wrapped up.  Was pretty intense getting it ready for the floors to be installed.  Nice to have walls and ceilings with sheetrock and mud though!

We were gone over the weekend, came back and the wood floors were installed - pretty fun to come home to that.   Sorry the first photo is so dark - still no lights installed, not a great photo.  
The floors look amazing though.

This week the floors will get refinished, we'll have them stained dark so they match the rest of the house and cabinets MIGHT get delivered!  So excited!!!

Progress continues.  The floor in the dining room/kitchen area has always sloped, likely due to the dining room being an addition. A few years back we had a professional foundation company come out and ensure that the foundation and flooring in the addition is okay.  They added some supports but the floor has still been sloped.  We went ahead and pulled up all the old wood flooring and underlayment.  Was a little scary to walk on, luckily it was only this way for one day/night. 

New plywood, will provide much more level underlayment for the new wood flooring.  We were very happy to have actual floor to walk on again.
