The Kitchen is complete. All except for window moldings and baseboards. It took about three weeks. Three quick, sleepless, long weeks. I still have yet to move a few items into their proper place. The only problem is, where is their proper place? Space and choice is so much more abundant now that it causes me to question just where I should put the bowls, the Tupperware, the glasses. Choices, I tell you what, but I'm so thankful for them.
We are so grateful this remodel happened. We needed it badly and it will be so great for our family. More space and more accessibility. Also for perks is the fact that every inch of the kitchen is now CLEAN. Not just clean as in the opposite of dirty, but new clean which makes daily, weekly cleaning, so much easier to keep up on. Hooray!
Here are some before and after pics (specifically for you Lisa, Tabbi, Mom and Julie!).
Out with the old...in with the new...
What-not shelves, in keeping with the 1940s
Love this nice little addition between the stove and fridge.
Loving the walnut flooring! Beautiful! See where the dishwasher will reside?
From the side door
Angle cabinets and cupboards
Tight squeeze that works.
Under mount sink- easy wipe-up!
and the miracle that is the finished kitchen
Dining and living room are coming soon! I hope! I so badly want to have life assembled as normal again.
It looks fantastic!! How fun for you!
ReplyDeleteIt is really beautiful! I love the wood you chose for your cabinets - drool drool!
ReplyDeleteBTW I have owned that dishwasher for 3 years and it is the single BEST appliance I have ever owned. I cannot even tell you how much I love that dishwasher. After 3 years it is still totally quiet, I can load a whole load of dishes in, that have been sitting in the sink overnight and everything is caked on and stuck on, without rinsing and everything comes out perfect! It is awesome - can't say enough (I even did a blog post on it once). Oh and we have wood floors in our kitchen too. One great feature - It is self contained meaning it will never leak onto your wood floor and warp it.
Yeah...sorry - they should pay me right!!
Beautiful! Amazing! I haven't been over to your house in awhile and the transformation is astounding! I DREAM of having a kitchen like yours someday - love the colors. And I love that you can LOAD YOUR DISHWASHER while you watch me walk by your house to playgroup.
ReplyDeleteCongrats!

Your kitchen is so beautiful!!! You will enjoy every second of your time in there (for a few months anyway) LOL You guys have done an awesome job. I know how hard it is to go through a remodel, especially a kitchen, but it is so worth it in the end. I would love the tour when you get your other rooms finished. Thanks for the great pictures!

ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous! Now you just need to have an open house so we can all come and run our hands over those beautiful countertops!
ReplyDeleteWow! What a huge difference! It's beautiful! I love the choice of countertops and the cupboards are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThe layout is different than what Mick showed me in April, so now I can't wait to see where you'll have your dining table! I hope when we come in September that we can come see your new home!
