Kitchen Teaser

Sorry about the accidental blog hiatus. To be fair, I rang in the new year with pneumonia. (I'm not sure what P's excuse is, though.) I'm super excited to show you some pictures of the kitchen. It's finally starting to feel like a real kitchen. I spent much of today organizing and scraping paint of the floor.


Here's  the old kitchen. Cute, but not very functional. I could barely reach the first shelf in the cabinet over the sink. The drawers were shallow and the counter and backsplash were pretty ugly.  Plus, that space under the window was the only counter space in the entire kitchen. I really loved the sink but it ended up being too scratched and chipped to salvage.

We added open shelving over the sink. Everything is within reach and looks so nice out on display.

We still have some counter space next to the sink but added more next to the stove. All of the cabinets are from Ikea and the counter top is from Lumber Liquidators. Definitely a more practical work space

It's a tiny kitchen, but we were able to fit this piece of furniture from the dining room in our old apartment. It adds some counter and storage space. Plus, it matches the rest of the kitchen cabinets.

We're really in the home stretch. We have to add some trim to both kitchens and lots of crown molding to our side of the house. It's really coming together and as P just pointed out to me, we have only been living in Overhill for two months.
