Here is a view of my kitchen standing in my living room. We'd built this house in 1992 and at the time the blue linoleum looked "awesome" LOL. About 10 years ago we changed to the oak laminate which gave the room a nice updated look.
I loved having the L shaped island. It helped lay out food when we hosted large groups, but we started having issues with the cabinet doors not closing and I also had an unfortunate accident with an electric skillet igniting the countertop on fire!
We opted to not have a kitchen table anymore, we moved the fridge to the wall on the left and the wall where the kitchen table was now has cabinets, a countertop and we put 2 wall ovens up.
I always felt like the kitchen was pretty big but look at it now..........
I had the contractor put glass doors in these cabinets so I can showcase my red and polka dotted dishes.
The two looks are totally different and every morning when I wake up and go down to have breakfast I can't believe it's mine, all mine! I find myself standing staring around just taking it all it......
We still need some trim installed, our sliding door to the living room needs painting and since we replaced all the doors, we need new handles and some painting done. We are able to work in the kitchen again which makes me happy, and we work around the builder during the day coming and going doing his thing.
I'll update with other room fixes shortly....
