Pictures of the new kitchen

So, I couldn't find the old pictures of the kitchen before we spruced it, but people keep asking for pictures of the updates, so here they are. We kept the cabinets, but replaced the countertops, sink, and faucets, and added a tile backsplash and cabinet hardware. My only complaint is that it is so gorgeous that I can't believe that I actually live here. :)

Matt actually built the corner cabinet because we couldn't find one pre-made to match the other cabinets. It pays to have a handy man around--the corner cabinet really pulls that distant lonely end of the counter back into the kitchen.

Needless to say, the kitchen is much less fun without friends to cook for and hang out with. Are you all absolutely sure you don't want to move to Las Vegas??

Hello Swensons! I totally miss you already! What a gorgeous kitchen. Only 11 months (but who's counting?) until we may actually have such a kitchen! I am so excited to hear all about your upcoming Vegas adventures!

Love it!! Don't worry--it is really all yours and it is only a matter of time until the counters are scattered with cherrios, caked with pancake batter, and the sink is full of dishes-your dishes :)

I am totally coming down to visit you.
