HA! Okay maybe it's only the moment I've been waiting for, but our kitchen reno is 99% complete. We need to finish some back splash, slap on some paint, and we are done, just in time for Christmas!
It all started with one cupboard door that had it's paint steamed off because we had no fan above our kitchen stove. I started refinishing the oak doors back in August. Then we needed new back splash, appliances and a new counter top (Hubby never did like the pink counters). Here is the before reno picture, dark doors, white back splash and pink counters:
I stripped the doors, sanded them and let the real wood speak for itself. We painted the background green, got rid of the old back splash, curtains, sink and window frame. New classic country kitchen white appliances (no cold stainless steel for me) notice the 5 burner gas stove with convection oven? It's getting connected tomorrow! I can't wait to cook on it, though I anticipate some burned meals before I get the hang of the gas burners.
I love the new back splash and counters! I love the dark green background (it took 3 tries to get the right colour) that makes the oak doors pop, and I am glad I went with laminate counters instead of granite. If you look real hard, you will see hints of green in the counter top.
Most of all, I'm glad the thing is finally done!! I will not be quitting my day job to pursue a new career in interior decorating, because the living room is calling me now! Does it ever end once you start?
