New Kitchen

Oh yeah, we remodeled our kitchen! Here's the recap in pictures.

Before we moved in. Dang, I forgot how ugly that brown was. 

New refrigerator -- Had to saw off some of the uppers for it to fit! 

Demo begins (hint: it was LOUD!)

Temporary kitchen set up

Empty space


Ewww asbestos. Set back 2 days and more money. 

Painting done(ish) and Kristen is not amused. 

Woah cabinets are going in!

Jenny approves. 

Cabinets and floor, waiting for counters and appliances

Counters



Finally done!

Acres of counter space

Window seat 

Hmm still need a new dining table...


Sink area


Dream kitchen!



Looking back, it's easy to say "it was easy". All in all, it took about 14 weeks start to finish, but only about 6 of those weeks were active construction. Even then, during those 6 weeks we had several days of waiting times where we were simply waiting for something to be made, ordered, cut, or fixed. All of the design was our own. We went exclusively through Lowes, who had subcontractors for each of the various kitchen tasks. Now that it's done, it is definitely our favorite improvement to the house!
