MOVE THAT BUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok, well maybe not THAT extreme BUT lol, anyone who has been reading my blog for ANY length of time, I've talked about wanting to have kitchen remodeled. We've been in our house now ten years. The kitchen is the ORIGINAL kitchen that was put in this house in the 70's….
Isn't that horrible lol. I HATED my kitchen. I used it, but you know lol.
How about a few more before pics…
Now, these were all the progress shots I got because we left for 10 days for vacation (another post lol).
When I got back this is what I saw (he still isn't completely finished, his tools are still on the floor in one of the pics lol)
Isn't it BEAUTIFUL?? LOL
Hardwoods in the kitchen and dining room. We are going to pull up every thread of carpet and put hardwoods in the entire house. CAN NOT WAIT.
Sorry for the blurry pic lol. I LOVE the lighting!!
This might be my favorite light lol. A spotlight on a clean sink lol.
I just had to repeat this picture because I'm so happy about my kitchen. I thank God for working the way He does so we could FINALLY get this done. I LOVE it!! Might not be a chef's kitchen but it's MINE! lol

It’s lovely. I hope you enjoy it for many years to come. We put hardwoods down on all of our floors (except for tile in the bathroom and hall) and I am happy to be rid of all carpet.
Praise God from whom all blessings flow!

You kitchen looks great! You don’t have to make deprecating comments to justify what your family could do. If it’s what you can afford and you love it, so be it! You cook, that makes you a “chef”, so it’s a “CHEF’S KITCHEN”! Enjoy!
Claire S./ 07.08.2011

Your new kitchen looks gorgeous so far! God is good!!!
Beth Conkwright/ 08.08.2011
Your kitchen is beautiful. Love it all. We finished putting wood floors in when my father was staying with us when he broke both sides of his pelvis in a car accident. I love love love them. I thought I would want carpets on them but we couldn’t get them while Dad was in his wheelchair and ended up loving not having carpet at all. Easy to keep clean and far less alergy problems.
sayitlikethis/ 08.08.2011
Gorgeous! Enjoy your new kitchen!
And I totally feel you on hardwood floors. Carpet is for the birds.
CarlaF-in Atlanta/ 08.08.2011
I sooooooo understand how you feel about your old kitchen! My kitchen is original to the house which was built in 1964. I’m saving my money to remodel that sucker. Congratulations on your kitchen remodel!!!! Enjoy 🙂
K. Rock/ 08.08.2011

Pam/ 08.08.2011
I LOVE IT! Congratulations!
Monique/ 08.08.2011
Its so pretty! You have the backsplash! And I love that lighting above the cabinet. That’s so awesome! I can’t wait to see what other remodeling you do.
It’s funny that you’ve been saying you wanted a new house and maybe this is the “new house” actually coming together.
Sha Boogie/ 08.08.2011
Yay for the new kitchen! I was just in the hardware store admiring light fixtures for my future kitchen *sigh*
monique/ 08.08.2011
I love it. It’s so warm and inviting. Seventies kitchen. Yuck! LOL!
OK hardwoods throughout…Can’t wait for that one. I’m with you on that too. I love hardwoods and travertine tiles.
Thomisia/ 08.08.2011
I love remodeling! Lovely redo and I know it feels good. You’ll find yourself walking through and smiling just looking at it.
toni/ 08.08.2011
It’s so wonderful! I looooooove hardwood floors and hate that my apartment is carpeted. The color scheme is so inviting, I may have to come down I-20 and cook myself a meal! LOL
artbeth/ 08.08.2011
Very happy for you! If this was done while you were gone, that’s even better!
Kim/ 08.08.2011
WOW!! Great job! It looks amazing.
Carla/ 08.08.2011

KeeKee/ 10.08.2011
I love the color you put on the walls! Congrats on the remodel, it’s beautiful! I need more storage in my kitchen so I think I’m gonna add an island. Hopefully I can pull that off some time in the (not so distant) future 😉
Kisha/ 10.08.2011
I love your new kitchen. And maam!! You cook in your kitchen correct-CORRECT. That makes you a chef so therefore you had a chef’s kitchen that has been redone to your current likings=New Chef Kitchen. I gotta take a real peek at the new diggs:)
Nikki/ 10.08.2011
THANK.THE.GOOD.LORD.JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!!! You have been wanting this for awhile and to see you get it makes my heart SO happy!!! Can I just say that I swear I would have knelt down and kissed those hardwood floors?! Lol!! I love it. And just so you know, the way you cook & bake- YOU are what makes this a chef’s kitchen. Enjoy it!
Sharon/ 11.08.2011

This might be weird, but I think I saw you in Hancock Fabrics yesterday morning…I was picking up material with my mom and when I noticed I was like…Do I know that person?? Then it hit me–I read her blog! LOL.

What do you plan to cook first in your new kitchen?
Had your house been about 10 years older you might already have hardwood underneath the carpet. That’s what I found @ my last home. Hardwood was even in the closets. It only had to be refinished. I was so pleased with the work that was done. It’s a lot better for people with allergies too.
Barbara/ 18.08.2011
Love it. Your kitchen is the exact same layout as my kitchen which I too want to remodel. Where did you get your cabinets? They look great. You will get a lot of enjoyment from that kitchen.
Myra/ 18.08.2011
God is soooo very good!! Your kitchen is absolutely lovely!!! Makes you want to stay in there all day to do nothing but cook and eat!!! When’s a good time to come over??? 🙂
My husband and I are planning that for next year…hope mine looks as nice as yours!! Enjoy! (don’t forget to let me know what time to stop over for dinner!!)
Cennetta/ 19.08.2011
