Finally! Finished kitchen pictures!

Steven and I have FINALLY finished our kitchen! Actually, it's been 90.9% finished for awhile...we just put the finishing touches on. So, here are the long awaited pictures!


The dining area.

The island. I am so proud of how it turned out. I never stained anything before. It was super easy!

The sink work area.

The stove, microwave and dishwasher.

I love it!

The Fridge.

The refrigerator came today!

More Kitchen Pics!

Here are some new pictures Steven took this morning.

Here you can see the new dishwasher and microwave. The missing cabinet doors need to be re-sized so it will be awhile before we get those.

Here is a close-up of the island.

New Floor

This Saturday we put the new flooring in. I love it soooooo much. Here are a few more updates.

The new sink and faucet. Look, the countertops are in!

The old bookcase is gone and we have a nice little half-wall.

The island is installed. The top was put in yesterday... I don't have a picture for it yet. Steven and I did all the painting. Since these pictures were taken at night you can't really see how cheery and light the colors are. I will post more pictures soon!

Kitchen Chaos

The kitchen is coming along slowly but surely.

This is the new pantry. We kept the old doors because they are still perfectly functional. We are debating whether or not we should paint them.

Here is the pantry with the doors open. The shelves are much deeper. I love it!

The peninsula is completely gone now! I can really picture myself cooking up a storm in my new open kitchen!

More Improvements

We've also decided to tackle the kitchen. It is still a work in progress but we are so pleased thus far. Brother Hills is doing the work and it is excellent. Here is the before shot of the kitchen. Note the new range...the original was avacado green.

This is what we have now. As you can see we are opening up the space by moving the pantry and lining the walls with the cabinets. It already looks much bigger and more open. I will post more progress pictures later.

Home Improvement

We are finally getting around to some of those home improvement projects we've been thinking about. Our first priority was to get the exterior siding painted. It had been neglected for awhile so there was some wood that needed replacing.

It was raining a little when I took this photo so you can see the raindrops. Overall, I like the new color (dolphin gray). But I really like the door color.

In case you don't remember, here is the "before" shot.
