the kitchen.....

When we first bought the house, I said that the kitchen would be a top priority. I love to cook and be in the kitchen, and this kitchen.....well, it just wasn't up to par :) It was totally functional, but very, very old. I wanted to replace the kitchen cabinets and add all new appliances....blah blah blah.

After painting the cabinets, pulling up the old linoleum and living in the house for awhile now, I think we might wait on finishing the kitchen. Even though I do need a dishwasher.....:( But I think we'll finish the basement instead. Can't wait!

So, here's the before of the kitchen.....(sorry, not the greatest pic)


and after....

before.....ugh.


after.....







It's still old, and not very pretty, but you know what? I LOVE it. Do you know why?
Cause it's mine!
Yes, someday I'll have brand new cabinets and appliances, but right now I'm loving the "vintage" feel that it has :) And as long as I can cook my little family some great food, I'm a happy momma.

Wow! I am impressed, but I don't know how you live without a dishwasher. I think I would go crazy.
