Back to the Kitchen.....

The kitchen???  It's been so long you forgot about it, didn't you?! Well then, it's time for a little update.  There's much still to be done, but much has been done as well.

 

As a reminder, here, again.....in the very beginning:

 

Big, big, huge improvement!



I called one of my bestest friends and pleaded for the desk in the middle of my two cabinets. It's where I'll be doing my additional medical transcription work! I thank you, friend....don't cha know ;)

 

As for my two cabinets....Jim made both of them years ago.  He made the one on the left for his Mom

and the one on the right was one he made for me....in the 1980's....as you can tell by the country hearts.  Jim said he would change out the doors for me.  I'm not sure what we'll change them out to.

 

As you can tell in the picture below, we have replaced the farmhouse table with an island.  The table was just too big for the kitchen. For now, as you can see, it is pushed up against the wall under the windows; when we get our sink base we'll move the farmhouse table into the dining room.  And, yes, we do have access to a sink with running water. Right through that door is a laundry room with a utility sink.





 

Below are a couple more pictures of the kitchen.  

 

I love this niche!

Jim just finished the little niche between the fridge and the door today. I love it. The white gunk in the floor is spray foam that's used to fill in gaps and cracks. The excess will be cut off and shoe moulding added.   

 

The knives on top of the fridge was sitting on the red cabinet but I was moving it around and feared they would slide off and stab me. After I got it positioned where I wanted it I forgot to put the knife block back.

This little red stepback cabinet shows off some of my rooster decor, but more than likely it'll be replaced with a more functional cabinet we can use for actual storage.

 

Speaking of decor....I've had this little wall shelf for a very long time and I'm finally going to hang it!!!....

 

here...centered on the wall right above the niche.

 

As you can see below, I still need some sort of wall cabinet.....

....right above the desk.  Here's what I'd LOVE to have:

 

Also, one last thing....look at the adorable pictures below.  They look old, but I only paid $1.00 a piece for them!!  They WILL be somewhere in my kitchen....don't know where, but somewhere for sure.

  

 

 

 

We still lack cabinets beside and above the stove too....and a few more finishes, but it's all good!!
