Before, During, and After - The Kitchen

Thought I'd take a break from Christmas posting and give you a tour of our kitchen.

:o) ♥

Before:  Here's what the kitchen looked like back in August - the first time we looked at the house with our realtor {too bad the photo doesn't reflect all the grossness of this room...or does it...}:

During:  We'll eventually replace the cabinets and counter tops, but for now Doug did a lot of painting and making them look good...

After:  :o)

And here are some before, during, and after shots taken from the other end of the room:

Here's a list of what went down:

- all walls retextured and painted

- new base boards

- linoleum floor replaced with ceramic tile

- cabinets painted

- fluorescent light fixture replaced with can lights

- ceiling fan/light fixture in dining area replaced

- new blinds

- new door for pantry {forgot to photograph that}

- incorporated some antlers into the decor  :o)

I still need to figure out some window treatments,

but for the time being I think we'll just let it ride.

What do you think?

Wanna' come over for a spot of tea?
