Finally, we're done for the moment, everything is in its place! Frank and his brother Maarten worked very hard and were able to put the floor in on Thursday and Friday. It looks fabulous! We're very happy with how it all turned out, our colour choices, the hardwood floor, which has an oil-finish, because we thought it would be easier for our dog Chip. Before we had laminate flooring and now and then for some reason he was afraid to slip when he walked the floor. Slowly he's finding this floor easier to walk on and is becoming more relaxed.  Here is a picture of the hardworking men (Frank is in the front):
 

Now we have to wait for the countertops to arrive and a new trim on top of the kitchen cabinets, because it's too short, luckily the company where we bought the kitchen agrees and they have ordered a new one. Because of this, Frank has to wait before he can put in a new wooden ceiling, but that's ok.
Here are some pictures of our open plan living/dining room/kitchen (the walls are empty, we still have to put up pictures and such) :

Finally, I want to thank you for the nice comments about my pantry, and yes Amanda, you are right, I do smile every time I open the pantry.

blessings, Ellen
