So the items are on order and now I just wait..... but they said it may only be a couple of weeks and then a couple of weeks for installing and then, of course, Lynn will be painting..
the impetus is to upgrade our kitchen and invest in our home.... we figured it was a good way to safeguard some capital we saved for a rainy day.... we figured our kitchen was better than our mattress... and then one day when I can't stand going up those stairs anymore we might be able to sell this place and get a nice patio retirement home... but alas, I get ahead of myself.
Our 1930's English Tudor kitchen is pretty much as it has always been in the 27 years we've lived here...
With the exception of the newer floor we did a few years ago and the newer paint pallette a few more years ago.... and I can't help myself,.,. I still love both... the eggplant walls and the border... so it will remain. I mean we should enjoy what we like, right? But, that hutch has got to go... to make room for another wall of cabinets... with built in desk for technology, and you can just barely see the foot of the pie safe at the right... beside the furnace flue... that has to go to make way for a floor to ceiling pantry... YAYAYAYA!
Love this photo of Lynn packing his lunch to go to work... but, heheh, behind him you can see just how small this 1930's kitchen is... I mean really I have made do with 2 drawers in my kitchen following the redo I will have 3 times as many drawers....Just this past new years during the appliance sales I was ready to go start replacing the appliances with stainless... and I fell in love with the french door fridge!
But, alas, the new fridges are so much bigger now, the hole under my upper cabinets wasnt big enough.. That would take a major overhaul, so I still have the white....and will probably keep them.. They a re all new enough and still in great working order. So yes, we have new cabinets on order
New cabinets for some of the kitchen..
new doors on the old cabinets..which Lynn will paint Behr, Rolling Pebble
sample photo
At this time, there are wooden valances on the windows on the other side of the kitchen with ugly recessed square lights... very vintage 1950... I am spoiling myself and replacing them with these great lights I keep seeing on HGTV redo's
