Kitchen Update #3

Here are a few updated pictures of our kitchen with the new paint on the walls. It's hard to see the true color through camera, but you can defiantly see the difference. I decided to put the orange paint on all the walls instead of just two. The color was perfect next to the cabinets and our counter tops. All my pictures that are hung match up perfectly. We still need to do a few minor things before we can call the kitchen complete. For the most part it's almost done....Yippee!!!!

Here are a couple pictures to remind you of the old kitchen without paint:



Repainted Kitchen:

We painted the pantry door all white which gave it a brand new look. It used to be the old dark wood to match our old dark cabinets. It made for such a sunny kitchen. (smile). This really changed the whole space. Now that I see how nice it turned out with a white door, I am planning on painting or replacing all our doors in our place before we move.

One big giant mess!!!!

So here is what our kitchen used to look like before we installed the top cabinets. We took all the tile down & the hood above the stove.

You see that white box that is sitting in front of the kitchen sink. That is our portable dishwasher. We have to plug it into the sink every time we use it. It's a smaller dishwasher, so there were only certain dishes that you could put in there. I hand wash most everything. The wheels broke off the bottom about 5 months ago, so that is where it's stayed. Talk about annoying!! We are replacing all the counter tops, sink & faucet.

Here is the start of the renovation. It's amazing what a difference it's already making in the kitchen. It's going to bring in a lot more color & brightness. Here are a few pictures of the top cabinets that Chris and my father-in-law put up this past weekend. Hopefully this next weekend we can pull the bottom cabinets out & install the dishwasher & garbage disposal. Yes folks, we are getting a full size dishwasher!! That is the most exciting part for me. It'll make my life so much easier. So stay tuned for more updated pictures of the kitchen.

All in all the guys are doing a fantastic job. Especially since both of them haven't remodeled a kitchen before (smile). I just can't wait to have my kitchen back & the rest of my house. But I don't mind giving my kitchen and space up for this.
