Kitchen Update

With Thanksgiving right around the corner and family arriving, Mark continued to install the three new cabinets we brought with us - one for each bath (to replace the ratty old ones) and a base cabinet, sink, and faucet to replace the kitchen sink cabinet. Seeing the original one below will show you why:

Original FILTHY kitchen.  The ugly off-white cabinet centered under the kitchen window is the one we replaced.  The dishwasher is gone and, after cleaning, we have added a stove and fridge.

Mark found mold behind the cabinet from the burst pipes that occurred when the house was empty, below freezing and the main water valve left on.  We scrubbed, Kilz'd, and painted the wall.  After that, Mark removed the plastic tiles from beneath the window and replace them with neutral ceramic tile (matched the best we could).

Then he installed the new cabinet, sink and faucet that will allow me to wash my big soup pot and other larger items (YEAH!!) Here is what we ended up with.

New base cabinet, sink, and faucet

The kitchen and dining room are actually the same room, so you can see my dining server next to the kitchen sink cabinet.  I would never have designed a house this way - but we will live with it until we decide exactly what we want.

Now, he has moved on to installing the last vanity in the main floor bath.  I'll post those photos after Thanksgiving.  Right now, I'm working on baking ahead so that I can enjoy Thanksgiving with family.  I'm SOOO excited and can't wait for them to arrive today.  Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
