My New Kitchen!












This is my new kitchen!!! At the 8 month mark, it is ready for us! WaaaHooo It still needs a few pieces of trim here and there, I have yet to do the final varnish on the raw wood of the cabinet's, light fixtures, the flooring will be much later, as will new appliance's, but even they look new in this wonderful kitchen.
The counter's were sealed the 1st of May and I have been going through and washing thing's setting thing up, it's been fun for sure. I am boxing thing's I wont really need for now and will get them out when the other end of the kitchen is done that will have the pantry.
It is such a functional and easy to work in kitchen I still can not believe it is ours!! The counter's are a wonderful lush dark mixed color of green's, the seal makes them just shine.
I am just getting back into cooking, will take me a bit though which surprised me. It's been so long since I was able to cook like I am use to, I need to get that enjoyment energy for it going in full blast which I am sure it will in no time. I have made Ham and Bean's, made with left over Honey Ham bone's that had Lot's of meat on them. Then I made a nice batch of Cream Steak~ Oh Yum, one of our many fav's for sure. Tomorrow I am making Spaghetti, Herb style with a Pineapple carrot jello mold.
Do you see my sink too!! The one I said I adored, it will come with me when ever we move from here that is for sure. I love this sink, it is wonderful! I will be able to bathe my grandson in it too! Who by the way has just started walking. He took his first step's April 28th and is now off and going, so fun. Ha also has 6 teeth now. Those blue eye's are just getting brighter.
The new laundry room is already framed and almost all sheet rocked, lighting.elc., is about done and the plumbing will be ever so soon. So sweet. I will I am sure have my washer and dryer in there soon. Then the old laundry room can be worked on with nothing in the way to convert it into pantry,computer area and eating space. Yes, I am glowing for sure.
Blessing's to all and may every one have the most wonderful mother's day ever.
