Finished Enough in the Kitchen

Oh my gosh! I forgot to show you what's going on in my kitchen...it's almost done. Certainly done enough for me for a while. yay!

Here's where we started last year around this time.

The left wall was the worst part. The door next to the fridge and the lack of usable cabinets was such a pain. Not to mention the inside of all the cabinets was the original particle board from the 60's. I'll just say "gross" and leave it at that.

At my last update, it looked like this (scroll down a bit).

Here's how it looks now (minus a few things on the counters). The room feels about 10 times larger and there is so much cabinet space that I can't even fill it! *sigh of relief* We've got a small island in the center now that really helps when you take something out of the fridge etc. And later we'll add another section of floor to ceiling cabinetry (just behind where I stood to take this photo) that will serve as larger storage and a pantry. I can totally live without that for now. I'm just so happy to have a new, clean kitchen.


Here's my favorite part! The baby bathtub, haha. No really, I love my new sink and faucet with no mysterious grime. Even better, the cabinet below it doesn't smell like an old folks home.

And we got it all done with time to spare before baby #1 arrives.

What a change! It looks great, and I also love your giant sink. I have one too, one of the perks of being married to a plumber. ;-)

Looks great! How nice to have a new kitchen. And so great that it is done before your baby comes.

That looks great! I'm glad it's finished before the baby arrives. We used to give N his baths in the sink until he developed some strange fear of it. It was really handy until then. :)

That has to be the prettiest kitchen, just how I would love my kitchen to be one day. Wishing you all the best for one your darling baby arrives. Hugs, Catherine x
