Our Kitchen Renovation

It took me three years of pleading to convince my husband to buy
the house where we now live.... their were many reasons why he kept saying
NO


the biggest reason being the kitchen

it was just a skeleton of a room at the time........
no cabinets

no trim
no fixtures

it was a mess

before:

and after:

this was our sink....

lovin' those old 2x4's?

the same spot after:

this is where I did the cooking for a while....
very convenient :P

we found a better arrangement for the cooking area
and this what the same spot looks like now:

we also got this hutch to go along a different wall~
we didn't measure before we bought it...
there is about an inch worth of play or it would not have fit

dumb luck or fate?

I prefer fate.

At our previous two homes...I had white painted cabinets
and I always love the look of a farmhouse kitchen

but for this house

we thought it would be more appropriate to honor the history of the craftsman-style
and consider what it may have looked like a hundred years ago

I hope the original owners would be pleased if they saw it today

I will show you the pantry in a second installment~
it's in major need of some organizing

and I'm not getting on a step stool until I get my hard cast on my arm!

~~~Have a fabulous day~~~~
