Thankful that I got my kitchen done (finally!!) and that it turned out so beautiful! I love it! It started last Christmas with my mom and dad, who helped me tear wall paper, mud the walls and paint them. My dad and Brian tore out some cabinets over the counter to open up the kitchen and made some shelves in the corner. And that is about as far as we got over Christmas break.
It took me a long time (mostly because the project was on hiatus for most of the year) to get the cabinets painted and put back together. I would be embarrassed to confess how long we actually were without cabinet doors while I was "in the middle" of this. But once I got started again it didn't take too long. The final touches were changing out light switches and plug-ins as the old ones were nasty and yellowed, which was Brian's job. We only had to call my dad once (okay twice...) to get help with a three way hook up. And he only got shocked once (okay twice...), but the numbness went away in a day or two and the sporadic tics have stopped, so no permanent damage done.
I failed to take before pictures, so for those of you who never saw my kitchen before, picture hideous small flower wall paper on the top half of the walls, with a huge flower border mid wall, leading into horizontal striped flower wall paper on the bottom half. In blues and creams and mauve/pink colors. With ugly old wood cabinets.
But, here is the new kitchen...drum roll please!
