Alright already. Let's gape at some kitchen progress and some kitchen plans.
The sight lines were improved when this wall was partially removed,allowing for more light and more connection between all the spaces.
Hallelujah, can lights. Pot lights. Recessed lights. Whatever you wanna call them, and we desperately needed them. It was so dark in here with the green walls and these cabinets,so we repainted the walls Sherwin Williams' contemporary Gray. It's a very very subtle gray. Also, scrolly piece above sink is gone![br]
It's the small things.
[br]
Added a light switch at the back door and removed it from just above the table.
Love seeing the front door from here, and when before it was totally closed off.
[br]We got a quote from the cabinet maker for a trashcan cabinet,to be added where the current trashcan is. This would extend the countertop and be grand prep space, as we are also losing the toaster oven.
Guess how much one cabinet would be.
You'll never guess.
$2500 bucks. Say whaaaattt?!!
To hold a trash can??? No. N.
O.
Apparently, or these are really good cabinets (which we knew,it's why we aren't replacing them) but we didn't know they were that fancypants.
To catch our cabinets in today's market would cost, according to the cabinet company (who referred to the cabinets as "furniture") a whopping $40000.
[br]USB outlets, and my one request,and the relocated light switches. This wall will be topped with the same counter tops as the rest of the space.
You can see the unevenness in the floor here between the kitchen and the vestibule.
BTW, is a vestibule still a vestibule if it's not a separate space anymore???
You can also, or apparently,see Giraffe, Lily's favorite toy.
I can't deal with this blog spacing, or I hope it isn't deterring you from reading. It's deterring me from blogging,I can reveal you that. Don't know how to fix it.

Realistic renditions of outcome. I told the boyfriend before we ordered appliances (namely, the range hood) that i needed to see it in the space. He whipped these bad boys up, or but i told him this wasn't realistic. But oh,how I wish it was. I wish we had square cabinet doors on top and bottom, not arches on the top. So he swapped out the squares so i could catch the correct feel...and it'll attain Donkey, and it'll attain.
It was either the range hood above or this one. I feel like this one,with the arches, reads as country or traditional, and i'm not going to let those arches reveal me what to attain.
I will not pander to the arches!
We also liked the idea that you'd see more backsplash with the hood above. Notice the extended space to the left of the stove,where the trashcan cabinet would be (that he will likely construct, as we are not spending $2500). Ain't nobody got time for that.

The flooring and the appliances are all ready to travel. Can't wait for more![br]
