A Kitchen and Bathroom Story

Above is our new kitchen!!! The picture on the left is the main part. The picture on the right bottom is the way our glasses look in the new cabinets and the above right picture is my new "appliance" pantry. There are still some aesthetic things to be figured out, we haven't done baseboards or trim and there are a few cabinet lights to hang. But, we now have a disposal, a place to put ALL the pots, a real pantry next to the refrigerator, a cupboard to store tea and coffee, a refrigerator that fits into its space, an extra kitchen mudroom which doubles as Pascal's door and a place to keep kitchen tools and snacks. Plus it's a beautiful green color and it is INSULATED, and it no longer smells like an old lady and her birds. The stove is still the original as it was in good working condition. So, even though it doesn't quite fit we are okay with keeping it until we HAVE to replace it to sell. Below find the before and after pics I've created (we also redid the bathroom WHICH IS NO LONGER PEPTO BISMO PINK!!!!). To see Daniel hard at work on it all (I supervised most of this from the couch trying not to throw up yogurt) please visit the pictures on the Picasa site!

And really, this was a LABOR of love on Daniel's part, so any WOW comments please be sure to send his way!!!! And also a HUGE shout out to Kevin who helped replace the toilet and was a key and necessary player in most of the renovation!

The old ceiling vs. the new track light ceiling!
