Kitchen Update from Start to Finish, no particular order ;-)

Photo dump!!!  I will try to get these in logical order but no promises...what a project this was and we aren't 100% finished yet, still need a couple new hinges for a cabinet door (busted when i was trying to put them back together) and touchup paint around the edges of the cabinets, a fun paint dance between yellow and grey.  Needless to say I think the transformation is AWESOME and we are totallky enjoying the new look, ESPECIALLY the butcher block island :-)  Next project inside for me is to tackle our baby poop colored bathroom and green bedroom, i see some overhead lighing installation, paint for sure, and possible closet door facelift...wish me luck, throw in some outdoor landscaping and call it spring :-)

 

This is how we got the kitchen with the house...not bad just not our taste, especially the wood pulls on the wood cainets, ugh

Old appliances...old owners took the fridge with them and we sent the oven to my parents rental up north. the new appliances mad a world of difference

View of the overall kitchen, use this to compare to the finished product :-)

New Years Eve dinner preparation....functional yet ugly

testing out paint color for the accent island

wall and cabinet paint next to one another, making sure the finished product will jive

hardware removed and organized for smooth replacement after the paint has been completed

Doors removed and ready for prep

Doors laid out in the garage for assembly line painting...learning curve on this one, when you flip them put them on plastic (garbage bags) insted of paper towels, the "dry" paint sticks to the paper towels....extra touch up paint work

 

Cabinet boxes prepped and ready for final paint color

 

Kyle painting away on the island, nice accent piece :-)

doors have been painted on one side, time to flip

Kitchen painted and ready for sealing, just waiting on those darn doors

doors flipped and painted on second side, ready to seal!

Doors sealed and hung, patiently wait for a little bit to install the pulls.

 

while waiting for pull installation, time to plant cool/shade garden :-)

we planted two avocado trees and can't wait to harvest them :-)

sequoia, our strawberry theif, helped me plant our fun new strawberry pot

Tucker as always was quite the helper, he assisted in the planting of potatoes, soy beans, sugar snap peas, arugala, butter leaf lettuce, and romain lettuce.  Now we wait for the harvest season. 

AND....the finished product minus one door and touchup paint, but not bad eh??
