My new kitchen!

My NEW Kitchen!! Everyone thinks that I took a picture from a magazine, pasted it here, and called it my kitchen, I didn't, I even took this photo myself! Lol!
Jack and I worked sooo hard on this, (his blood, muscles, and engineer's brain, my
love for matching colors, organizing, and designing a beautiful space) Cannot believe it is finished, and it is mine. It was soooo much work, many hours of planning, deciding, and changing our minds at the last minute, many nights of little sleep, paint fumes, drywall dust, and living like we were camping, for 5 straight months, (which is difficult with 4 kids, n gets old very fast) but, compared to the before, this was totally worth it. I spent hours scouring craigslist for great deals, which is how we got our Hickory cabinets, still new in thier boxes, for a fraction of thier original cost! Designer cabinets at a price lower than the cheapest ones on the shelves of the home improvement stores! SCORE!! We got great deals on everything from the granite kitchen sink, to the dining set. The entire project start to finish would take up its own entire blog...so, I will just keep it short n sweet here. Moral of this story: you can achieve the designer kitchen of your dreams if you take time to research, be patient, plan well, and do not rush anything, just because you want it done!! It was worth it. :)
