Kitchen!

I hope to post some other rooms soon, but here are before and after pics of our kitchen. Well, it is not totally 'after', we still have to do some final touches. Like paint the build-out for the refrigerator, I will be so happy when it is out of the dining room and you can sit at our table like normal people!

We (mostly Nick) did all the work here. When we moved in, we had grand plans of expanding the kitchen and sunroom (right outside the kitchen), but when it was estimated at 50k-75k, we came up with another plan. I think it turned out great, and is really all the space we need.

Here it is.....

Before, all three sides.

demo!

Progress! Note the cooktop sitting on TOP of the counterless base cabinet. yes, we used it like this for about 3 weeks.

Here we are now! A dishwasher, a garbage disposal and everything! I feel so spoiled!

And here is the buildout for the fridge...we're getting there.

Almost 6 months!

Andrew is almost 6 months old, and the time has flown. We have been crazy busy with the house renovations lately, and I have been bad about my updates here....but we almost have a kitchen!

Will post those pics soon.

Andrew is doing great and is more fun every day. he loves to watch dad work on the house. And even though the doctor said not to start baby food until he is 6mo. because of his milk allergy, we have been sneaking it in. We get awesome veggies from a farm share every week, and I just couldn't wait. So far he has only had butternut squash. At first, the sweet freaked him out because he has been drinking cardboard nutramigin for 4 months, but now he loves it!

Hope to post some kitchen pics soon...we LOVE our new kitchen!
