WE DID IT!

I was a little nervous, but we did it! We finished the kitchen in time for Crew's birthday party! (Well, pretty much) There are a couple of things left... I have to stain the columns and beadboard, paint behind the fridge, we also have new crown to go above the cabinets, but that has been missing since we started the cabinet job, so I am not really counting it! If you want to see what the kitchen looked like before we started this whole mess you can click here.

So here is the rundown on what we did this past month to our kitchen/living room...

> Tore up the brown and blue linolium floor and replaced it with new beautiful flooring

> Ripped out the railing and one of the pilars that used to seperate the kitchen from the living room

> Demolished the wall that seperated the kitchen from the living room

> Removed the large cabinet next to the stove and replaced it with the refridgerator and a new cabinet above that

> Installed two new collumns and covered the one last standing pilar to hold up our ceiling

> Ordered and installed a new island to sit in the middle of the kitchen

> Painted the columns, walls and bead board so that the two rooms would flow together

Ok, so now you have it. This started out as just replacing our awful flooring and turned into a total demolition job. Sorry Steve... Actually, I am not sorry. I think he is just as happy with the results as I am! If you're ever in the area, stop by and see us! We love to show it off!

***A special thanks needs to be said to our great friend, Bart for helping with the demo and building our beautiful columns. You are the man! Thanks for all of your insight and help, we couldn't have done it without you!***
