Kitchen Makeover: Part 3

I considered waiting to post this until we finished a few things we are still wanting to do with our remodel, but decided I would go ahead and post it now, and when we finish with those last details,  I will try to post again.  We are done enough to be enjoying the make over and are very glad we did it.  We will probably go ahead and replace the counter top in February or March.  The microwave is going to be adjusted down lower and Steve is going to build a soffit above it.  Also, He is also going build one more cabinet in the kitchen, but here it is up to this point.  Click here for the "Before Pictures"

New paint on the walls in the dining room.

New paint on the kitchen walls, and beautiful new oven.  It is a double oven, with a smaller oven on the top for every day cooking, and a larger oven on the bottom for when I am cooking in large pots  etc. 

We loved that feature.

The narrow cabinet on the left used to come down farther than the rest of the cabinets.

Steve cut it down and now it matches on the bottom.

There used to be a large funny shaped counter top here.  We removed it and put this barstool height

table and chair set.

The China Cabinet used to be on the far wall where the buffet is.  Now it is on the wall where the pass through window used to be.  We are thinking about what pictures we want to put over the buffet.  Steve is also going to put another sconce to the left of it,  that is yet to come.

Here is the china cabinet where the pass through window used to be.

The walls and cabinets have all been painted.....

and new appliances in.

You can see the blank space where the new cabinet/shelf will go, and the microwave to the right of that space will be lowered a little bit.

We put an old armoire where the bakers rack used to be, and  Steve added shelves to it.  I have so much more room to put things away now.  It has helped organize and ease up space in a big way for me.

I have loved having many things at waist height.  I used to have to really be a gymnast to put things away and pull things out.  I got some baskets to help organize our vitamins and various other odds and ends.  I put all of my lids in a basket... much easier to keep track of them that way.

I'm still using jars for all of my dry goods... and love it.

We got this cute little corner shelf; which I love. 

Thats all for now.   Thanks for stopping by and checking  out our progress.   Hope you all are having a wonderful Christmas Season.
