Kitchen Remodel

After more than 20 years of living with a kitchen that was perfectly fine but one that we didn't love, we decided to bite the bullet and do a full renovation. Although we generally kept the same layout, we worked with a designer regarding colors, some design work and selection of materials. Our old kitchen was demolished on June 5th and our new kitchen was finally completed on August 2nd - more than eight weeks later. We went 5 1/2 long weeks without a stove, but cooked at home (grill and crock pot) all but three nights, which we all considered a huge success. We definitely got sick of eating the same foods over and over, that's for sure. But the kitchen was definitely worth the wait! We spend a lot of time in the kitchen, cooking, baking and hanging out, so it is nice to have something that is so sleek and easy to work in. 

Out with the old....

One of our friends is the CFO at the company we worked with - he snapped this photo of our Taj Mahal counters being cut the day before they were installed.

We love our faucet and the fact that our sink is molded into the countertop - no seam!

The day we got our stove back was a big one - it made the rest of the process a bit easier to deal with.

They finished while we were at the beach on vacation.

Beginning the massive process of unpacking our new dishes and putting everything away.

We still need window treatment, but here is the finished product.
