Kitchen Update

We have finally started 

updating the kitchen,

other than paint and curtains :)

 Before:
This is the kitchen when we bought
the house in the Spring of 2014.
The walls were a dark brown paneling,
very cave like. 

 This is how it looked a week ago,
before we started our up-date.
Notice the trim over the upper cabinets. . .
I can never remember to buy another piece 
of trim and finish that, LOL.

We started our remodel by installing
bead-board for our back-slash.
Here you can see that the counters 
in this house are narrower than standard.
  Therefore; we had to build it out
where the sink goes to fit in a
standard size sink.

Next we installed the counter top. 

I absolutely love my new sink.
It is large and deep and nice for things 
like big pans and cookie sheets.

It takes a woman to understand
how excited I am about this
new sink and faucet . . .
not to mention the back-splash and counter top.      

I'm one smiling
"domestic chick"
LOL

Before I say good-bye . . .
here is one last before photo. 

Next week we plan on installing the range hood
on the other side of the room.
This kitchen has no ventilation fan.
Every time I fry anything, I set off the 
smoke alarm.
I have to open the window above the sink
and set a small fan on the window sill.
  
I am not going to miss doing that, LOL.   

I hope you enjoyed your visit.
 
Keep Smiling!
Your blogging sister,
Connie:)
