Time for a look at how it all turned out. Like a child, this kitchen truly seems as if it's always been here. And I take that to mean it fits us and suits our house. Thanks for all your support during the long, long gestation period!

Spotting similar cabinets in a magazine got this whole kitchen started. Thanks for the inspiration!

So handy to have pepper, olive oil, and salt at the ready.

Board by board

The framing continues and with every 2x4 that is added, I get a clearer picture of my new kitchen. I think it's going to be even bigger than I anticipated, which is very exciting.

I'm also getting a little taste of what it will be like when the guys are working inside. The driveway bumpout is small enough that the work noise really carries inside. I know it's hushed compared to what we'll be hearing soon.

The current plan is to move us out of the upstairs kitchen either between Christmas and New Year's, or just after New Years. We're going to salvage and donate the old cabinets, and do some sort of Formica/fluorescent light exorcism ceremony.
