Kitchen Remodel


We spent the end of 2012 and pretty much all of 2013 remodeling our kitchen....doing what we could as we could. A project a good 20 years in the making! Of course now I know why my folks didn't get air conditioning until us kids were out of the house - less mouths to feed and a few extra pennies available! LOL

Anyway, I mentioned some time ago I'd share some pics and here's just a few. 
I do need to mention that some call this a "galley" kitchen... I've always called it a "hallway after thought!" Yeah it's small, but I really wanted to do something to make it appear bigger. And, of course, now the red Formica counter tops are back "in".  As for me, I guess I've just been retro and now ready to move on! hehehe

Here's one side: before


and after....
I love the white cabinets and dark blue counter tops!


I love the microwave over my 5 burner stove top!
Now I finally have more room for my big honkin' canners and pots!
If you can see it, there's one cutting board that has a pic of a lady doing laundry.
That was my gramma's. She passed in 2002 at the age of 98!


And the other side of the kitchen.... before....






 after!



I love my built in oven!
Getting older and the kind of work I do,
my back has issues, so not bending over to get something out of the oven or broiler is so awesome!



new pantry door...


I also love having room above the cabinets to put a few of my pretties!

To get the pic below I had to stand in the pantry! hawhawhaw


Well I love it and can't stop staring at it. If it was big enough to have a little tiny kitchen table and a couple of chairs I'd probably just sit in there and ooohhh and ahhhh. 

Thanks for stoppin' by!

Blessings
