Kitchen flooring and walls

The purple walls in the kitchen were soon replaced with another color. I wasn't sure what would coordinate with the countertops, which were going to stay. They are a taupey color, speckled with pink, purple,and grey. I painted them a cappucino color, for now. We will have to see what that looks like with the new flooring, once it's installed.

The "vintage" dishwasher which came with the house had to go, too. It probably wasted a lot of water, but the biggest problem was that it broke glasses and splattered food particles around so that they were evenly distributed on all the dishes, instead of cleaning them. We got a new one from Home Depot. I hope it lasts a long tim, because it was quite a hassle to switch it out.
Yesterday I started ripping out the purpley-pink and blue industrial carpeting from the kitchen area. Avinash helped me get out most of the rest of it day. Here's the delightful lime and bile colored carpeting which was revealed underneath. Next, we rip this out, and then the black rubber underlayment. I can already tell that some of the subflooring underneath is rotten and will need to be replaced, as well. It's a good thing we are replacing everything.
