Introducing Our New Kitchen

Ok, for those who never had the pleasure of seeing our old kitchen in all its glory, here are a few pictures to give you an idea. I couldn't find any pictures of just the kitchen. Can you blame me? Would you want to remember this kitchen? But here are a few of the kids that give you a good idea of what we were living with:



Here's one of Chase and Grandma eating some blueberries. Please note the wood paneling, the 40-year-old linoleum, and the lovely stained cabinets with formica counter tops...and we're not talking the nice formica, either.


This one shows Ryan enjoying some cake batter. This is another great shot of the cabinets and the floor.



You've seen these two pictures before, but it a good view of how much of the wall we actually tore out. Also, the part of the room where you can see the furnace ducts - there was a brick wall there that Tracy tore out.

So here we go...I'm not even going to comment, I'm just going to let you look and enjoy. Keep in mind that the kitchen and dining room were connected by a small doorway, and the refrigerator was on the other side of the room.







Needless to say, we LOVE it.

My, oh my what a beautiful kitchen, Denise. I let out a big 'wow' when I saw the pictures.
I wish you many happy moments in your own domain.
Love, Ragna

Thank you so much, Ragna - it is a big change for sure! It was worth all the construction headaches once it came together.

It is really nice, too, because it feels like part of the house now instead of just an afterthought.

Denise,
Holy Smokes! You give me great hope! Check out our blog to see the state of our house. It was leveled yesterday. I can only hope that eventually I'll have a wonderful kitchen to savor and enjoy like yours. Have a wonderful time in there! Sandi
