Kitchen remodel

This is what our kitchen looks like now. (These are the MLS listing pictures.)


In approximately 6 weeks we will be ripping everything out. The floor, the backsplash, the countertop, the cabinets and the window above the sink. The bay window has been replaced already. We will be putting in a pass-through window facing the livingroom. We will be moving the stove over to where the fridge is now and moving the fridge down towards the front area. The front area(dinette) will be turned into a study which will include a pantry and built in desk. Oh and my window seat!!:)
These are the cabinets we are getting from Ikea.

But with these door handles.

This countertop.

I found a picture of someone else's kitchen online with the countertop. It looks a lot lighter than I thought it would be.

Which is good because our floor is going to be made of these vinyl tile, which are pretty dark.

I can't find a picture of the layout online but you put it in so that it is staggered.
The kitchen tap that I've picked out is this one. But we're going to a kitchen place tomorrow to see it in real life.

We still need to pick a backsplash but hopefully it will involve some sort of glass tile and we need to pick out a dishwasher and microwave. We're keeping our stove and fridge for now.
With all of this excitement there is hardly a need for travel. But of course we can't go for very long without travelling. We're heading to Boston with some friends for Thanksgiving.

This is so exciting! We need to have a couple of kitchen-warming parties! Oh...I so want to go to Boston in the Fall! In a couple of years! Hope your Aunt & Uncle are still there then!
