We're were about to embark on a new phase of house stuff and both Husband and I were trying to ramp up the enthusiasm for the whole thing and it wasn't working. We were both just dreading the first step. We were actually in disagreement about what the first step should be. And then I got home last weekend and he had taken out the stairs to the basement. Husband had taken the 'first step' literally. Anyway, to get us revved up, here are some before and after pics of our almost finished kitchen and den project. I'm hoping it helps me get excited to do this again downstairs... The Den was a creaky mess! Unsupported floors that rock and rolled when you walked on them. Windows that let in the light - and the snow and the bugs. And that panelling... And the Kitchen - with it's weird flow, lead painted cabinets, mounds of rat poop under the corner and dead beast under the stove. I am SO glad we decided not to just reface the cabinet doors and live with the nightmare beneath them. Come to think of it, I am SO glad I married a man that could make the pictures on the left into the pictures on the right. Yea me for picking the best of the bunch!
Now, if I only knew how to cook...
