Last time I updated you on the Guest Bedroom progress, but today, I would like to show you how we are faring with the kitchen renovation! Let us start with a "Before and Progress" picture since I cannot seriously call our kitchen pictures "After" pics... There are STILL no doors or drawers! LOL! ;-) Most people that have come over to visit, however, mention that they didn't even notice the lack of doors/drawers! I guess there is something to be said for nicely organized cabinets... There is still much to be done, but for now, the kitchen is fully functional and pleasing enough to the eye... My vision for the coffee/tea station to the left in the above picture came together quite well. I simply taped off a strip of chalkboard paint and used pieces we already had to come up with a functional, fun and organized coffee center. It turned out to be a great way to carve out useful space from an unused area: The island we purchased from Ikea has been the most useful piece! It holds our cookware and is the perfect place to gather fixin's from the fridge and freezer for meals: The new butcher block countertops are beautiful and warm, if not a bit more work than our previous quartz. I have oiled them a few times now and will continue to do so each month. They have started to bead water already, but need many more coats of oil for protection... Gratuitous photo of bright, pretty flowers in our new happy kitchen: :-) Well, there you have it! I hope you have enjoyed this little update on our kitchen. I swear to you, we WILL have cabinet doors and drawers at some point! Life has just been a bit crazy lately. I finally have an appointment for my procedure and after Hubby and I both recover from that, we will be back at it full steam! Anyone who has dealt with any pain or hardship will understand how it can hinder the most ambitious of persons. All we can do is push through the hardship, absorb the lessons learned and keep those lessons for future usage:
