The New Kitchen

I love my new kitchen! I think the people who have seen my kitchen in person will especially appreciate the transformation. Otherwise, all you have is an in-progress shot from last week.



Yes, we still have the floor to do. You can see where I need to come up with a temporary fix for the patch of hardwood showing. There used to be a strange little shelf thing there that jutted out from the counter. We removed that, which opened up the room. Next up is the floor. I want to put down those 12-inch-by-12-inch ceramic tiles. (We're not going to use the hardwood that is beneath the vinyl and carpet because it doesn't exist where the room was enlarged years ago and we'd never be able to match the original floors.)

And a new-to-us kitchen table is coming soon, thanks to furniture in a beautiful lake house the company is buying. It's black and has four chairs. One day I'll want something bigger, but it will be fine for now and it will fit there better than the oval one that only has three chairs, none of which are acting like they want to make it much longer!
