Photo of the kitchen before we started any work

Here is a picture of the kitchen before starting any remodeling work

We are doing all the work ourselves.  So far we've purchased all the materials from  Homedepot except the stove, the pendant lights, the chandelier for the table, and the light for above the sink.  April found the stove on KSL.com, and I found the pendant, chandelier, and sink lighting on lightingdirect.com.

Here is the kitchen with the recessed lighting installed, the fluorescent lighting above the island ripped out, the cabinets removed and the soffits ripped out.

Hopefully the pendant lighting will show up today.  If it does I'll temporarily install it to see what it looks like.
