UpDaTe oN tHe UpDOe


After 6 months of living in a construction zone it is finally coming to an end! Here is an update on the progression of our Kitchen......

This is our kitchen at the very beginning. It was definitely YELLOW!! The pantry is on the left where the wall is (behind that garbage sack).

This is in the middle of the kitchen where our Island now is. There was a wall behind it that made the kitchen feel very small and closed off.


Here is another picture of our sweet dark brown cabinets, yellow countertops, and the pantry.
We started tearing down the wall behind the island and building a wall behind the fridge (when I say "we" I actually mean "dave").
Here is the wall that dave built. We pushed the kitchen back about two feet to give us a bigger kitchen.
Here is the kitchen without any cupboards. Also dave had just installed Canned lighting all by himself. He did all the wiring and everything! I was seriously impressed.
Our kitchen in the "demolition phase"

After months of living in a construction and weeks without appliances and running water......Drumroll please.....................
TAH DAHHHHHH

I LOVE THIS KITCHEN. LOVE LOVE LOVE!! here is a picture right after the countertops were finished and we put the new fridge in. We dont have a stove or microwave installed yet.

Here is the Finished product. Pretty different, huh?!?! I can't believe the transformation. I seriously feel like I am on some Home Makeover show. It is AMAZING!!


BEAUTIFUL!! Thanks Dave for all of your hardwork. We only have about 1 week left before we get all of our hardwood floors installed. I can't wait to get rid of the orange and gold carpet! I will keep you guys updated.
