Step 1: Reconfiguring our walls. This meant not just new drywall, but shortening our two windows (one a bit and one a lot) to make room for the newly positioned sink and refrigerator.

Step 2: Paint! It's hard to tell here—because of the iPhone and because it's just a first coat—but the walls are going to be a Canyon Rust orange-ish color. It looks like a big grapefruit now, but the walls are going to be covered with lots of cabinets (see the example below).




The bathroom is also seeing a lot of progress. At the end of last week we had nothing but insulation and studs...

As of yesterday, we have:


It looks like the bathroom will be done early next week. Hooray! That will mark our official move-in to the 'hood since we've still been spending at least a couple nights a week in Downers Grove and showering at the local YMCA when we do stay at 4523.
The kitchen will be done by the end of the month!

Looking great! It must feel so good to be at this point...
I echo Amy: looks great! Love the color of the kitchen and bathroom tile in particular. This post is fueling my fantasies of eventual homeownership and decorating. In the meantime, I hope it's okay if I live vicariously through your project. :) Looking forward to seeing the continued progress!
Ooh the orange is going to be pretty and I love your new sideboard in the dining room. Love seeing the progress...can't wait to see what's next and see everything in person when it's all finished!
It looks awesome! I'm so excited to see how it all finally turns out! I'm also really loving all the bold colors you guys have been choosing...I hope it ends up being everything you imagined :)
So cool!!! I love the orange!!!
