Well, here it is, our new kitchen! We finally got everything cleaned up and put back in place after the floor installation, although there was so much dust from the whole process, we'll probably still be Swiffering it up months from now (just like finding Christmas tree needles around the house in July).
We completed straightening in time for a wave of Halloween trick-or-treaters, although we were disappointed that we didn't get many kids at all compared to last year. We even watched them cross the street in front of our house without stopping here for candy! Even though all of the lights were on, and we had a ghostly flag flying, we'll just have to chalk it up to our lack of jack-o-lanterns. Next time, we'll remember the essential step of pumpkin carving.
