Kitchen Renovation: Phase 2: Walls and Floor

Things are moving a bit more slowly than the contractor initially predicted (thanks to the fact that this apartment rests on an uneven surface that causes the floor to appear slanted), but already I'm seeing vast improvement over what the kitchen looked like before.

Already we have freshly painted walls, a fraction of the cabinets installed, the refrigerator back in its old place, AND...

90% of the floor is complete! I know there's still a long way to go, but I'm really excited to see the end result. I'm especially impressed that our contractor put the floor down first, then is placing the refrigerator and stove on top of the floor. The kitchen's previous incarnation? Little more than tiles placed around the fridge and stove. Talk about shoddy workmanship!
