In the first pic, John is attempting to pull down the cabinets. The end where he was working was giving him lots of trouble. The board was nailed to the wall and he was having a hard to pulling it down.
The second picture was taken when the cabinets were finally down.
The ugly wood paneling will be replaced with white beadboard, the floors will be replaced with either tile or laminate (not sure yet). Oh, and we will be putting in radiant floor heat underneath because the floor is always cold. The door you see to the left will be replaced too..that's the spare bedroom where all the new cabinets are hiding right now.
More snow tonight! We are under a winter storm advisory. I think they're calling for 2-5 inches. Not anything major but the wind is suppose to blow so I'm sure it will drift and be terribly cold. The temps for Friday will only be about 6°. That is too COLD! That's the day of John's surgery, too.

I'd go with tile. Not that you guys are big spillers, but in the long run, laminates, woods, and other porous materials doesn't do too well in wet areas. When exposed to water for long periods of time, the laminate will warp around the seams. We're having this problem with the laminate countertops near the sink. Good thing it's a small, textured pattern so the warping is well camouflaged.
Yes, that's the same problem we were concerned with. Especially since Rizzo likes to drink water like a Hippo. LOL
I vote for tile!
A vote for tile, here, too...
Are you going to demo the soffit above where the cabinet used to be? Doing so would allow you to put in taller cabinets or use the above area as a display shelf. Either way, you get to store and/or showcase MORE DISHES!
No, unfortunately we can't get rid of the soffit. There are wires or something important in there! LOL
