Kitchen make-over 3, slow progress

I've been painting for days but it was only today that it started to really look different. I've been being very thorough, so it took a while to do a few coats inside the cabinets, including polyurethane. Today I got the gray on the outsides so it really looks dramatically different. This shot also shows the insides - green on the back walls and white everywhere else. I even painted inside all the drawers. It is very fresh and clean now.

We've had a most wonderful complication that will delay us from finishing this week-end. We are getting a new fridge (thanks Mom and Dad!), but it won't fit where the old one was. So we plan to put it on the empty side and I had to redo the design for the new cabinets as well as make a plan to get the pantry installed where the old fridge was. And this involves demoing the upper cabinets on that side. But we are very excited about the new fridge and the changes as a result. Having the fridge on the other side will be better anyway. In this image below from IKEA's kitchen planner, the fridge will go in the corner on the right (and the countertop will extend over to it).

The fridge has been ordered and will be delivered next Thursday. I'm not even going to order the cabinets until it is installed because I want to be sure my dimensions are all perfect. We are going to wait a little while to add the upper cabinets on the right (new fridge) side of the room to save a little money in the short term.

Everyone is eagerly awaiting the completion of this project because the kitchen and dining room are basically unusable and we are all getting tired of sandwiches and one-pot meals (the stove does work but we are keeping it simple).
