kitchen updates

here is a picture of the kitchen when we bought the house 

then we painted the cabinets and the trim and it looked a little like this

now matt and mark took out all of the cabinets so we can replace them with new ones - just a couple snap shots. 

no cabinets

one cabinet built but not in place yet.

more updates are obviously to come! 

kitchen island update

here is the update on the island - it really makes the room a ton more functional! now all we need are some barstools! 

and a photo of blue looking at me like I am crazy for taking pictures of the house. ha! 

following directions

I went on a minor shopping spree yesterday at bed bath and beyond and came out with this kitchen island. 

we have both been wanting one and we have been trying to figure out which one... so 20% later this is the one I decided on - mainly cause it was in the store and I had a 20% off the entire purchase coupon... otherwise we would still be trying to decide. 

matt had to run some errands for the condo last night - which meant I decided to try and put it together on my own.... here are some pics of it un assembled and all over our kitchen. 

2 hours and 45 min later this is where I got. Not too bad!!! It has so far not been too difficult to put together - just time consuming. 

hopefully this will get finished this weekend - along with the condo, painting the last wall in our master and some gardening.... we are going to have a busy weekend. 

kitchen updates

I decided last minute to have someone come and paint the baseboards downstairs. he was nice enough to paint the kitchen cabinets for us also. 

we decided on man cave from Lowe's
