Things I Love - II

Part two in the Things I Love series - The before pictures of my kitchen.

I love these photos because it is really clear that I have made a lot of progress even though it feels like a snail's pace. You may remember my post showing the pretty-darn-close-to-being-done dining room pictures. I mentioned that maybe in a year I could show you the completed kitchen. That was in April! 2012!! I may be going out on a limb here, but I think I'll beat that and be able to show you pictures BEFORE April! So excited! So until then, here are three before pictures of my kitchen.

Don't you just love that side back splash of laminate? The laminate on the counter was post-formed onto the back wall as a splash and then they just added the side pieces separately.

Yes, we had two microwaves! The white one in this picture is the one that works. The one over the stove had been dead for some time.

The ceiling had just been fixed in these photos. That was the first step. The ceilings had been sagging and the central light fixture was removed in favor of the three can lights.
