kitchen- part 6 the begining of the end

so, chris has some really great friends. thanks to jimmy and juan, the new appliances were installed 2 weekends ago.



for some reason, this picture reminded me a little of the raising of the flag at iwo jima.

so, here are the new appliances in all their glory!



just think- this is what we started with:

kitchen work- again

since christmas is coming up we have decided it is time to finish out the kitchen work we started over the summer. today we ripped out the old window sills and cut new ones. they are currently in the garage, the paint is drying! we also cut new trim pieces to go underneath the window sills. the thing with the window sill is that we decided to make them wider. i like having little dishes and soap and other decorative items on the sills and with the old ones, stuff just doesn't fit. we finally found the elusive polished metal backsplash to go up behind the oven. if anyone wants to know- they are located in the very back of lowe's right next to the range hood displays. honestly- it has taken us 6 months to find it. we have also decided to go with a white subway tile backsplash with some kind of other accent tile. i will be very happy when all of this is finished.
i think this is a funny picture of chris. this was the exact moment the trim and sill broke apart. demo work is fun!!!!
