Sorta done. I think part of the problem (and it's a good problem to have!) is that I got a job and started working full-time again. When I was unemployed, working on my house was a good distraction from actually looking for a job.
I did accomplish a lot (especially in the 2nd bedroom), even though the only pictures that I posted were the before-and-after of the kitchen.
In the near future, I hope to paint the upstairs bathroom and tackle the office.

I've taken classes with Gropius' daughter, Ati, and in one class, she said that she'd been reading a book about her father and the building of the house and remarked that there were things in the book about the house that she didn't know. She did say that she enjoyed living in the house. It was a very influential house as people would drive to the countryside to watch it being built.
I find it ironic that the Lincoln Public Library used to have two parts, the old original part and a new modern part. It still has two parts, but the old and new parts are now blended together in materials and style.

I bought a set from Target and a set from Bloomingdales and the ones from Bloomies are better.

This is a very similar layout to the kitchen in my first apartment in Austin. The dead corner next to the stove housed the water heater for the apartment. If you don't have something like that in that corner, you should switch the positions of the frig and cooktop/oven. Also, the wall across from where the frig is now doesn't have anything on it and you could put in very shallow shelves and/or countertop there.
