Phases of the Kitchen

When my hsb viewed the house:

The counters were grey and not all

of them matched pattern-wise

can you see the caveman

micro? 

yes they left it - it weighed a ton!

the cabinets 

are maple with green knobs

The only drawers

were the little green ones

I knew I couldn't

live with the blue

it was awful

we moved some of the cabinets 

even though they really

didn't match up in size

1st we got rid of the fridge because

it didn't even begin to meet our needs

little did I know there were 5 layers 

of paint and 2 layers of wallpaper!

It took months to do

Finally a clean walls!

The first plan

this is my inspiration pg

as you can see the wall color

isn't even close

The wall color ended up more pink/peach

than I wanted

But I lived with it for a few years

I really didn't know what to do with the space

The kitche is really big but never felt

right 

I finally figured out I needed to move the fridge to 

the wall with the stairs

on it so we

would have a true

triangle not a galley

The next paint color

I chose which is what I wanted

originally was: 

I got rid of the nightmare stove

and bought a jenn-air 

which I love

I needed real drawers So we bought

a large cabinet at HD

and that is when I started realizing 

that we could chg things around

as I looked i realized that 

we could beuild around the fridge 

I wanted more counter space - 

or should I say I needed some counter space?

so finally after playing around I had a design plan

I still didn't know if it was going to work 

so we decided to replace the bottom cabinets

and put a temp top on til

 I can save for the top 

(that is when I decide what I want)

So right now
it looks like this:

There is so much more to do

get a dw

sand

prime

paint

moldings

knobs

back splash

counter tops

but I'm thrilled how it is
