Let the light shine in!!!

Okay, window installation has begun and the new kitchen window is in and we are lovin' it!!
The extra light that it provides is astounding.  This morning when I came down the stairs and looked into the kitchen I was so pleased to see all the fall colours staring back at me!!

So, still more steps to go in this whole renovation thing but so far so good!
I love looking at the before and afters:
Here is the old kitchen with the cupboards that never looked clean. This kitchen served us well for the time but only having one drawer finally got the better of me.

 ..and here is the new much larger kitchen as the fridge is now where the old door used to be.

the old, new angle....... and you can see the door which will provide perspective as to the shift of everything to the right to make way for the new opening.

the new!!!

So, another window replacement to go in on the weekend(small window in the distance gets a lot larger) backsplash and stainless steel counter tops.

New Island

Well, it is done....new island is in as well as counters on either side of the stove.  We re-used the top of the old island for the counters. Next, I am going to paint the base to match the cupboards (cloud white) and simply oil the counter top.

$350 for labour and materials!!!  It fits in beautifully with the overall style of our house. We are so pleased! 
Only thing that will change is....those delicate little legs will need to go.....but other than that...I am lovin' it!!
