We remodeled our kitchen and laundry room in the fall of 2005. Ben did most of the work himself. It took a while to get done, but it is so worth it. We now have a beautiful kitchen which we love and are proud of. It has the feel of a quaint cafe. I am no longer embarrassed to have people come into the house through the laundry room!

 Here
is the laundry room, now with cabinets! Woo-hoo! We only had an
open shelf before. We added the utility sink as well |
 We
moved the hot water heater from the room to inside the closet, which was
wasted space anyway. We then added the much needed pantry space.
Across from this is the furnace, now neatly disguised behind a panel that
matches the cabinets. |
 Here
is our little kitchen angel, watching over us, hanging on to the molding for
dear life. She holds a different ornament for every month. |
We
didn't add any extra cabinets to the kitchen, except the one next to the
dishwasher. We also added more drawer space. Before we only had
3 drawers! Now we have 11. Ben created the awning above the
sink. Pretty cool!
We
had white walls before. Now we have a faux plaster look in a caramel
color. When we first moved in the counter tops were red with chrome
edging, Ick! Then we replaced them with white counter tops, and now
they are like a tan marble. The moldings in here match the moldings in
the living room.
The
appliances and the sink are white. Our old stove was green!
Remember those days? We removed the door frame between the kitchen and
laundry room to make it flow and feel like an extension of the kitchen.
I love the floor too!
We
bought the new pub table and chairs as well. You can see right out the
window into the backyard when you sit on them. I like that the table
is high, because it is like extra counter space when I am fixing food (which
let's face it, doesn't happen all that often!).
