The kitchen post

Our kitchen remodel was our defining event of the first half of this year.

The old kitchen was ripped out to the studs:

We were stuck using the kitchenette in our basement for two months during this process. I missed the dishwasher and the counter space so much! This what the area looked like after dinner most evenings:

We had to move out of the entire main floor of the house in order to have the floors refinished and the walls painted. The place looks nicely freshened up now:

Here's a look at the new kitchen (before we fully moved back into it):

We'll be adding some color and warmth to it with towels, rugs, etc.

The fridge is in a new location:

My favorite part of the remodel is having a counter that we can sit at. I've been looking forward to slinging pancakes over to the kids on Saturday mornings.

I'm sure there will be more photos of the space to come... We do spend a lot of time in the kitchen!
