Kitchen

Oh our wonderful kitchen.  The never ending project.  Will the stupid thing ever get done?  (really this is no jab on Matt at all!)

It has been really exciting to remodel the kitchen.  I haven't really been much help, like in past projects.  Poor Matt has had the brunt of the work and he has done a wonderful job.  It just really seems like it will never end.

As I sit here typing, Matt is in the kitchen putting up our tile back splash.  What he has up so far looks so good! 

If you saw our last kitchen (the Clown Kitchen as we like to call it) you will know how much of an update we needed.  Painted royal blue counter tops (painted!), yellow and lime green cabinets, and a two by four "pantry" (I use that term loosely, and by 2x4 I mean it was 4 shelves made out of 2x4's on the wall) beside the fridge.  Now we have beautiful nice new cabinets, a granite counter top (!!), an under mount sink and soon a beautiful tile back splash!  This is the stuff of dreams (and we never thought we would have it!).

Granted there have been our share (and someone else's share too, I think) of mishaps.  Our window had to be moved because of a wrong calculation of the cabinets (an inch makes a big difference!), shelves didn't come in the cabinets like they should have, cracked crown molding, lights being not where they should be, blah blah blah.  The list goes on, but we can see the finish line!

Through all of this, the Lord has definitely taught Matt and I patience.  Little things have happened, yes, but it could have been a LOT worse.  We are very blessed to even have a new kitchen at all!  All the hard work and trials are going to more than pay off in the end.  Can't wait to finally get everything in the cabinets! 

(Pictures soon!)
