After and Before

The highlight of our winter (and year) was the remodel of our kitchen. When we moved to our house 2 years ago, the kitchen was the only thing we didn't love. Luckily, my husband is always one to see potential in things and has a vision for the future. We've known this project was coming since we moved in and now that it's complete I couldn't be happier. I love cooking again! And, it makes entertaining much, much, much easier. I decided to go for reverse order of how you normally see remodel pictures... let's start with the "after" shots! They're much prettier anyways!  Look at all my glorious counter and cabinet space! Our primary goal of the remodel was expanding these two specific areas.

Love, love, love my new sink and garden window! I spend sooo much time looking out this window. Now it's even filled with a small herb garden, my orchids and a few other small plants. It's actually a garden window!

The entire kitchen was gutted! Thanks to asbestos in the walls...

Now for the not-so-pretty before photos. Sorry, but you've gotta see 'em to believe it! This was my entire cabinet and counter space... yes, what you see in this one shot below is ALL of it! I could expand it by pulling out my bread board. 

 We took this wall out and opened it up to the hallway beyond...

For a frame of reference with the after photos, all the appliances are in the same general locations. The stove moved by about 6 inches, but other than that they're all the same.

I love cooking in my new kitchen... anyone wanna come over for dinner???

We couldn't have done it without the fine folks at Rainbow Valley. Simply put... they rock!
