A Kitchen Face-lift

Five days of being out of the kitchen was a small price to pay for an updated look. Some of the old hinges were breaking and the doors and drawers were getting pretty beat up. So... time for a face lift. We dug up a couple of "before" pics and matched them with similar "after" pics. Check it out. We love the brightness it gives now.

In this pair of pics, notice that the microwave is now an over the range type and the old really-slow range has been replaced as well.


In this combination of before and after, see how the kitchen looks so much brighter.


In the next pic, you can see that the old "telephone book" shelf has been replaced with a built in cabinet with drawers.

The single nic-nac shelf has been replaced by three. And the over-the-sink light is now a can light.

A head-on view of the range and microwave...

And, what's a "dad" picture-set without some kind of panorama. This one is a 180 degree view from atop the snack bar. Hopefully you will be able to click on these pictures to see a larger view.

I really like the over the range microwave. It really opens up that corner. Can't wait to see it.
