Well 99% done... I still have a little touch up paint to do but I am putting it off, I'm a little burned out... :) But LOOK! Isn't it beautiful!!
OK I have to add a before picture so you can see how drastic the change is...
After we moved in we took off wall paper and painted and this is what it looked like... cute, right?! After 6 years in the house we grew up and I guess it was time for the kitchen to grow up too... That is what Amy calls the new kitchen, my grown up kitchen. :)
Steve took out the pantry and moved the fridge into the space along with some BIG pantry cabinets.
Now this wall only has the oven instead of both oven and fridge. I can cook on the whole stove top without cringing about working to heat and cool side by side...
Since we were getting a new window anyway
we decided to make it a little bigger, like 6 inches... that 6 inches was way more than 6 inches of work... Ask Steve, he LOVES when I get great ideas like that...
Steve moved the dishwasher from the peninsula to this spot right next to the sink, one less step to doing the dishes! New sink and faucet, I really like the under mount sink, no more grim around the sink, just sweep crumbs right in!
And there is the paint I have to do, the red line... I have to decide where to end the red...
No more dark poorly used space in the corner... no corner! Just a big open room! The door and window on that wall are gone too, just the new slider. Steve is all about light, I think we may overload our house at some point, he is always adding lights! :) The can lights are from the fall redo but this time he added lights under the cabinets.
And now room for 4 bar stools at the BIG long breakfast bar.
Steve did such a great job on everything! He is going to have to share his talents elsewhere from now on, every room in our house has been remodeled. Liz says she thinks we'll move in the next 6 months... nothing for Steve to do. Steve says he will work more on the yard now... I say go for it! At least I will still have a working kitchen when he takes down the deck to rebuild it and digs up the yard to put in sprinklers! Yea for home remodeling... when it is finished!!
