Oh, kitchen

The kitchen wound up being quicker and easier than we thought, and we're kicking ourselves that we didn't do it sooner so we could actually enjoy it! 

Our new kitchen cabinets arrived, unfinished and ready to go:

We started by doing demo of the old base cabinets and putting in some drywall with some new electrical outlets.  Here is Colin helping with the drywall:

Installing base cabinets!  They actually came together way more quickly than we thought.  We didn't replace the upper cabinets, so we got base cabinets that more or less matched and painted them the same color.

Then we added counter top.  Its a cheap laminate because we didn't have the money for granite, but it looks good, cleans easily, and will do the trick.  This is the counter top with a hole cut for the sink.

We then painted the kitchen, and Mitch and his dad put in a new floor.  With some new hardware the cabinets looked great.  Before and after time!!!

And after!!!

I love it and I'm so sad I don't get to use it.
