When first looking for houses I rejected this one immeadiatly on the grounds that the kitchen was too small. Robert fought for it though! And when he came to Kansas to see all the houses it turned out that just one fall back (small kitchen) was better than all the other houses. So we went with this one with promises from my task oriented husband that he would have it workable in no time at all! ; ) So, here I am with before and after pictures to show off my sweet hubby's work! I mean, I helped some and basically was in charge of what I wanted, but he did 98% of the work. Technically, all this took him about 6 weeks of off and on work. I have the pictures posted as one "before" followed by a similar picture of the "after". Along with a couple of extra "after" pictures at the bottom. List of changes: Wall paper removed, painted, cabinet installed, shelves mounted to wall in corner, pot rack bought and mounted, wood paneling scrubbed of the green paint, small ceiling fan removed and new lighting put in it's place. We still have a little bit more to do, but that is mainly dining room stuff. We will have new floors some time. We will have a hutch in the dining room for storage of my dishes to free up more cabinet space for food (since there isn't a pantry). Robert is wanting to install metal shelves with lips all along above the crabinets for storing produce. We just started a special new diet (that is another blog) and have produce running out our ears (or more realistically sitting in the floor of the dining room). But we can't agree because I don't want shelves above the cabinets, I want two large wooden crates mounted to the dining room wall with netting over the bottom half of them. So once we there are still a few more changes to be made. Robert is currently building an 8-10 seating dining room table. But the first goal was to get the kitchen workable! And we did and are very proud!
