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.

From old cabinets, new homes

A really nice guy from Habitat for Humanity is busy loading up the old cabinets to take to their ReStore, on 2nd Avenue in Des Moines.

ReStore is open to the public, and sells donated new and gently used home improvement materials. The proceeds are all used to build Habitat homes in Des Moines. Habitat is able to build seven or eight additional homes every year, thanks to proceeds from the ReStore.

I'm so happy about this. Not only are we keeping the old cabinets out of a landfill, we're helping to build a home for someone in need.

For the ReStore's hours, address, and an update on what's in stock, visit www.dmhabitatrestore.org. Current inventory includes cabinets, granite scraps, tile, rugs, and more--maybe I should extend my lighting search!
