New Kitchen - Finally!

The kitchen has been done for several weeks. But, I haven't had it all clean enough for a picture since then - I am going to pull out the new baby, two little boys excuse here! After all the boys were in bed tonight Chris helped me clean it up and get some pictures. So, now you know my kitchen doesn't always (pretty much never) looks this good! But, I am loving spending time in here - which is good, since I spend quite a bit of time here!!

Here are the before pics.





And, after...

This is a close up of the back splash. We also took the cook-top and vent, and cabinet below out. As you can see, we put a slide-in range and microwave instead. Chris added the extra touch of putting the back splash here on the diagonal.

This is taken from the living room. That cabinet to the left of the fridge was added after the (tiny) stove and (ancient) microwave we removed.

We also have a mantel now! I can't wait to hang stockings on it...
