Kitchen Update
In June, I was feeling too overwhelmed with the wedding to make a choice for our kitchen cabinets. Now that the wedding is behind us, we can focus on fixing up this house of ours!
Here is the picture of the kitchen from the previous owners.
We decided that we are going to rip out the old cabinets, knock out the drywall above the cabinets and extend the cabinets to the ceiling, replace the countertop, tile the floor, and rip out the faux brick wall. You can't see the other wall in this picture but we are building cabinets around the lonely stove. The cabinets are ordered! YAHOO! Here is our vision...
I am looking forward to the arrival of the cabinets but I am so nervous about losing my kitchen for a month or so. Mike and his friends will be doing all of the work and labor (which makes me nervous and excited) and I predict that I will be hearing a lot of curse words throughout the project.
So...that is going to be our Christmas present to each other. Although I want a Wii (although I have never played one) a real camera, and an automatic car starter, we are going to wait and get past the kitchen rehab until we can think of spending any more money. 

I am off now to run some errands! Have a great day!
Have fun! The process totally sucks, but boy is it worth it!!
The cabinets you chose will look great. Hopefully, the boys will be able to get it knocked out pretty quickly.
Ick. I do not envy you, but good luck!
And once you play a Wii you will be hooked. I wanted one so bad last year but then got over it. Haven't gotten over the camera or car starter yet:)
Those cabinets are the bomb! I love the crown molding above them. SO classic and pretty.
We had that god aweful fake brick in our kitchen too. We ripped it all out and it looks sooo much better. You'll love your new kitch when it's done! Good luck and happy turkey day.
The kitchen will look great!
We have an automatic starter and it is AMAZING!!
