It happened.

Somewhere along the way, we got completely sucked in.  The kitchen was going to look gorgeous, so we needed to replace the horrifically old, inefficient and ugly window and sliding glass door.  We had already been discussing doing the floors at some point (currently a delightful mix of mismatched tile and carpet), so figured while we're at it creating an enormous mess in our house, might as well do the floors too.  So let's just call this what it really is, and that is NOT a kitchen renovation.  We're in the throes of a complete first floor renovation, folks.  Yikes.
