THE REVEAL!

Finally! After adding some final touches last night to our kitchen, I feel I can reveal some pictures! We are almost done...we need to add the rest of the knobs to cabinets/drawers and install the trim kit for the microwave, get a Roman Shade and install the backsplash, and that's it, finito! Ok, the backsplash is a pretty big thing, but that's going to take me a bit to figure out yet.

I forgot to take before pics...so here are some as I was running out the door to catch an airplane in December, leaving Dan to get this project going!!! You are missing most of the island/peninsula here and the blue carpeting on the floor...but you get the picture, pretty ugly, outdated...


take two...


No problem guys, just follow these diagrams!!!


Floor in progress...Dan just loves me signing him up for these projects...thanks to brother Tim for coming over and jumping in!!!


Near completion on the floor!


Wa la! Miracle workers!!! Is my husband talented or what??







And a nice bottle of wine - note the name!! - found in Tucson on our last visit!

I am amazed at Dan's talent...if he doesn't know how to do something, he learns...there is no stopping him!! Thanks Dan, for making all my dreams come true!!! :)

OMG, that is absolutely beautiful!! I am jealous, my kitchen is still in construction. Is that the GE cafe?? I wanted that stove. That tile is gorgeous too! Great Job!! Don't even recognize the space anymore.

Hey thanks Jenny! Yes, it is the GE Cafe and I love it, I am doing amazing things with that stove, who knew I had it in me? :) So much fun cooking in a new kitchen...hope it doesn't wear off!!!
