Kitchen Progress

I promised to show up with some official kitchen afters this week, but I'm sorry to say that we're not quite there yet. You see, my kitchen currently looks a little like this:

Yep, the cabinets are finally getting that black paint job that you supported me in way back in December. Okay so you might need to pick your jaw off the ground for this one... I paid someone else to paint them! I found someone who would do the work for cheap and couldn't resist having them do it. Unfortunately, that meant that I was at the mercy of his timeline and will have the cabinet doors back in a few days later than planned. Still, I think I can get those after shots to you this week!

For now, lets look at some of the progress my tiny kitchen has gone through in the past 9 months:

If you've been reading for a while, you'll remember this super claustrophobic little space:

That I knocked apart with the help of my own two hands and a crowbar.

I haven't looked back since!

You'll also remember how awful, damaged, and dirty my laminate countertops and sink were...

...and how much I love the new and improved versions!

Then, of course, how can we forget that tile backsplash (it's difficult to see the yellowed grout and dated textured tile)...

...and how I destroyed it as well.

Then there were the new appliances, depressed kitchen, and additional recessed lights... but if you've been reading over the past few weeks, you know all about those.

Trust me people, I want to share the full "afters" of my kitchen as much as you want to see them!! Stay tuned!
