Our kitchen remodel is finally finished. Here are the before and after pictures:

We’ve been really busy since last weekend. After work on Monday, we filled the gaps in the floor with a cream-colored grout. After almost two years with a black and white floor that advertised every speck of dirt, we wanted to go with something a little more low maintenance. I had never done this before, so I was a little intimidated. It wasn’t so much the work that worried me as the time sensitivity. Thanks to a few YouTube tutorials, we managed to do an okay job:

Getting the grout haze up is a pain, but it goes away quickly if you wipe it with a 50/50 mixture of vinegar and water.
After last weekend, we needed to take a couple of days off. We didn’t do much to the kitchen after work, but the electrician completed most of the wiring. He’ll finish up this week. I did manage to get a little mud work done on the ceiling and we were able to further repair the walls (and the new damage done by the electrician) before the weekend. Most importantly, we got the ceiling painted on Friday night:

We sanded prior to painting, hence the dust.
