The very first post I made to this blog, on January 1, 2007, was a photo of boxes - the boxes that my new kitchen cabinets were in, to be exact. The plan was, back in December 2006, to remodel the kitchen - completely tear out everything and replace it… we estimated it would take about 2 1/2 months.
Well, ahem, seven moths later, my kitchen is finally done. If only you could see me. I'm doing a dance of joy as we speak.

BEFORE: This was the view facing one direction. Notice the delightful "Z brick" ala 1978, and the trusty linoleum floor.

AFTER: Tile flooring, new cabinets (the doors of which actually close when you want them to - imagine that!).

BEFORE: This was the view facing the opposite direction of the photo above.

AFTER: We moved the dining room into this space to make more room in the living area.
congrats! It's lovely! I'm jealous
