We’re in the “tweener” stage. That’s the “between” stage– after demolition but before the kitchen is fully operational. Here is where we are, as of today:
Yay! 
In case we’ve forgotten from whence we’ve come, this is what it looked like four months ago:
And this was after demolition:
You can see Livvy in the photos. After demolition, she was stalking around, disliking the change. Now, however, she is relaxing on the floor (well, it’s the underlayment; the final floor goes up soon), much more pleased with the room.
I have a MILLION little things to do: build shelves, finish the window trim, pipe the gas for the clothes dryer, create a bench and coat rack area for coats and storing kamik rain boots and etc, wire the telephone jacks and network control panel… not to mention the “big” things, like finish the cabinets, install the counters and sink, install plumbing, wire the stove…. whew… but we’re getting there. And notice the dishwasher! I haven’t operated a dishwasher since I was 14 years old.

It looks bigger now. Livvy looks very pleased with the new results!

Glad to see that Livvy approves. What we do if she didn’t??? MOL It does really look terrific. And just look at that dishwasher. Fantastic. Can’t wait for the fridge and stove to get in there. Get going you guys. LOL
Have a great evening.

You know what Livvy is thinking, right? If not, I will translate for you: “I can’t wait until the counters are installed!” But I can tell she is giving all your hard work so far a big Paw of Approval. And with Livvy’s polydactyl paws, that means something!
