Kitchen #1
I can't believe the kitchen is finally done! I know I teased it last weekend and I just haven't had any time this week to do a super-kitchen post. But here it is!
Do you remember our old kitchen?
Now it is finally time for the before and after picture...
BEFORE
(please notice the floor, fan, faux-brick, white countertop and yellow soffit)
AFTER
Now we have a tile floor, no fan, cabinets to the ceiling, granite countertop, and real backsplash)
We just love it! On to more pictures!
Remember the old, empty, half-wall with the stove?
AFTER
I just can't believe the transformation of this wall. It really does amaze me. Obviously, we haven't gone out to buy new appliances. Old stove, fridge, and dishwasher. They are all in working order so we will hang on to them until they die. 
Thanks to everyone for their compliments! I am so happy it is finally finished and we have a working kitchen again. My amazing husband worked so hard on this kitchen and we couldn't have done it without Nick and Chris. They are absolutely amazing guys and we totally appreciate everything they did! YAY!!!
