The Kitchen- finally

I know, I know- it has taken me forever to put pictures up of our new kitchen. It seems like there was always something- dishes out, camera battery dead, no computer, etc. Well, the stars are finally aligned and here are the long awaited pictures. We are definitely enjoying our new kitchen and floors. It still doesn't seem like OUR kitchen, but we are all moved back in. The boys love it and give anyone that come over- a full tour. Jacob especially loves our new pull out trashcan and the flip down drawer underneath the sink- for holding sponges. I must say thank you to my wonderful husband for a brand new kitchen. I know that even though it's "our house"- this project was really for me. Thanks honey! Enjoy!

BEFORE:

This is the only before (post demo) picture I have. Sorry Aaron!
Before picture of white tile counters

Demolition
Our big helper



Here's a good before shot of our nasty floor- plus 2 cute kids


Try to ignore those cute, chubby feet- here is our lovely, old tile floor. The tile was in the entry, hall and bathroom. Yuck!

Before shot of our family room- as they were taking out the wood floor. This is the one point where I though we had made a huge mistake. It was such a mess and I just wanted to rewind and have our old (although clean) floors and kitchen back!

AFTER:

New tile (in downstairs bathroom) and new wood (hall.)



Ta Dah-here it is. . .


New island- we bought 5 barstools and we sit here all the time now. We even all sit down for breakfast together- I love it!



Our new sink and faucet


My favorite- pull out drawers. No more lost food and dishes! Especially convenient when bending over a large, pregnant stomach.
