So Close to Finished

I still have the floor to paint and windows and window treatments to make. But these pictures show you the portion of the kitchen that is completed. It's been a long road. And I'm going to take a break from working on the house so I can do some watercolor painting, blogging, writing and cooking. It's so much more pleasant to cook in a kitchen you like being in.

And a HUGE BIG THANKS to my brothers -
both who did the work to make my kitchen lovely.
THANK YOU!!!!

Kitchen Transformation -

Before......... and the next step - not quite an "after" picture yet. I want to change the counter tops to a butcher block wood and a plain white tile back splash. But for now, i just needed some encouragement. It seems to be taking forever. I didn't realize what an impatient person I've become - this house is going to teach me that's for sure.
