ta da!!

Here it is ... we have found the camera batteries and we are back in business. wahoo!!

These pictures are so sweet!! Our kitchen looks so great!

So Mike ripped out paneling and drywalled, then he ripped out old lino and did laminate (which now runs into the living room as well and matches the laminate we did a few months ago in the back of the house). The cupboards came down and new ones went up, then he tiled the countertop. We added the cupboards on the right of the stove (used to be a 12 inch cupboard - now it is 36 inches). We switched out the pantry and got a new stove (fridge was new 6 months ago out of necessity). Took down the fake wall above the upper cupboards and added light above the window. Then Mike trimmed it all up. And I am so thrilled!!

This is the extra cupbaords we added!

This is our pantry and fridge - doesn't take me long to collect stuff on top does it? :)

more kitchen ...

Remember the falling-over faucet?

This is Mike's first try with tile. He is amazing!

So there is our kitchen - all done - just finishing things - vents in the floor (we have already lost one bouncy ball down there), filling and and repainting nail holes and stuff like that, but it is totally functional and usable.

So can now get back to real life and will post as we get stuff done.
