Kitchen Coming Along!

The cabinets are up and a few thing put back together. I can now cook again, do dishes in a dishwasher and have counter tops to clutter, ha-ha! This has been a slow process but it is called pay as you go. Now some real decisions have to be made. What to do with back splash? I am leaning toward tiling and was thinking of a natural looking subway tile. What do you bloggers think? Of course then I have to address the floor. I was thinking my old vinyl would last for another year and then I redo it. But once the new cabinets went it the floor looks horrible. I won't even show you a picture. So now install new vinyl, tile it or put wood down?. I was thinking since the cabinets have so much wood grain in them that a wood floor would over do it. So here are a few picture of the new cabinets.

I had the new cabinet come out over the refrigerator so I can store cookie sheets and long items. So far so good with this idea. Okay, so I'm short and need a foot stool but I've always needed one even with the old cabinets.

I put a coat of white paint over all the walls before the cabinets went in so I know they are clean behind. Now I need to decide what color to paint and I also will be painting all the trim white. The off white that they current are really makes them look dingy.

I love my glass doors in this new cabinet. This is all new for my old kitchen cabinets stop with the just the little one. So I gained 3 1/2 ft more of cabinet space. I had wanted a glass that looked like rain running down but I couldn't find it. So the glass doors up close look like they have rain drops in them.

I did not go with stainless steel appliance for I am not a fan of them. I know I'm not with it! But I am the one that has to work in this kitchen every day and I know I wouldn't enjoy it. I'm also not a fan of hard granite surfaces. Yep, still not with the in thing. For now it is easy clean laminate.

I have removed the popcorn ceiling off the dinning room which extended part way into the kitchen. I still have the living room to go with this removable. Not a fun project! Once this is done I am having the ceilings redone with a simple texture. So the crown molding on the cabinets will have to wait until then.

I don't know about you but it seems once I've started a remodel project it keeps leading into more and the first one has to wait until the second one is finished and it is waiting until the third one is done. I need to stop tearing things apart!

But even though it isn't finished I'm loving move cabinet and counter space. So maybe I'll go bake something now. What is a kitchen with out a mess!

Enjoy June
