Starting to look like a kitchen!

The last few days we've been focusing a lot on the kitchen and it's finally starting to take shape!  It's still dusty & not finished, but I'm pleased with the progress so far.  :)

This was the first paint attempt... but I didn't like the color.

They had to cut the cabinet to fit our sink

Then they installed the cabinets!  Looks much more like a kitchen now!

The other wall of cabinets.

Then we added 1x6 boards & molding above the cabinets

And we fixed the paint color  :)

We put the doors back on the cabinets

And put the knobs & pulls on the cabinets

I've been kind of obsessed with these pulls & I was so
excited when I found them on clearance! 

Adding fillers in the spaces

A very dusty/dirty version of our kitchen  :) 

And the other side.  The stove & microwave are getting delivered
today and it still needs some paint & a good cleaning but
I'm so excited that it's actually looking like a functional kitchen.  :)

I loveee our sink & faucet.  Lots.

We haven't had time to actually cook meals recently, so I can't wait until we can cook in it!

Christmas in June!

For Christmas (2010), my great-aunt Shirley gave Aaron a stove as his gift!  We were so excited!  At that time, we thought we'd be closing any-day-now on the house and would be able to actually go pick one out in January.  However... things took a little longer than anticipated.  :)  But we were able to finally go pick out our stove a few days ago and we're so excited about it... it was like a Christmas in June and just in time for Aaron's birthday!  

Here's the stove we picked out.  :)

The inside is a fun blue color.

THANKS Aunt Shirley!  What an awesome gift... and an awesome Aunt!!  She's also periodically stopped by Harvard to bring us dinners & vegetables & just to check out our progress chaos.  :)  We're so thankful for her!
