Again, for Attila, the kitchen

Since Attila over at Cheaper than Therapy has been blaming me for her makeover of her house(and I've seen her husband's truck driving through the neighborhood wanting to "thank me"), I figured its also a good time to show the kitchen as well as the bathroom. The kitchen needed alot less, but what it got made a world of difference.

Again, our kitchen floor was like the bathroom, thats crappy school tiles, but in this case some of them were missing.....so a new floor was laid by the inlaws.

The good news is, we had been slowly over the years replacing and adding. Last year a new flat top stove, and my father installed the hood. and the great thing was the cabinets were all in GREAT shape, so no need for the full makeover. But handles were added to everything as you can see. And paint. white trim and a nice light blue to the walls.....


Also the tile, which you can kinda see goes all the way up the hall. Decrative plates that were her grandmothers were hung. Again a nice shade of blue....



Lastly more cabinets! For more storage! There never is enough room. The inlaws had some cabinets they didnt want that matched. So we hung two up, you see one end table and peeking around the other side by the garbabe is another one.

As you see, a new floor, a coat of paint and some handles, decorations and new cabinets made all the difference. Coming soon, the dining room makeover.....
