New Kitchen Cabinets!


Okay, so I haven't taken very many before and after pictures but...we are at least at the halfway point or more after today. Jake has loaned us his handyman and trusted friend to help us out. He is amazing. His name is Eric Bjornson and he gets a ton done in a day. Last night the cabinets were laying un put together in boxes all over my house. They not only put the cabinets together but got them into the kitchen and attatched today. We are still waiting on tile that will come in on Monday and have decided that Jake was right and we are going to open the door into the dining room into and entry like the other side of the kitchen. It just opens the whole room up a ton. I still have not decided on countertops yet. In fact only halfway looked one day a couple of months ago. Where do the days go? It will probably be another month before the project is completed. We still have the floor, the doorway, and the crown molding and floorboards to get finished. We decided to try to pay cash for all of this and, because we want to go to disneyland and a few misc trips real soon, we are going to put off new appliances for a few months.
We are going to use stainless steal applicances...do you think I need a new sink? The new refrig will be bought to fit in the enclosure better. This refrig is wider than usual I think. I measured the black one downstairs and it fits almost perfect to the edge of the wood. We will splurge though and get a new over the stove microwave since the old one is too far gone to install again. Its night in these photos and so the walls look a golden yellow color...they are actually a golden brown that go great with the floor. I'll try to post pictures in the daytime so you can really tell the color..Daddy has worked all day every day of his vacation on this project for us. He actually had to get the walls and ceiling textured, then primed and then painted. Is it any wonder I love this man?
